Creating Irresistible Crockpot Banana Bread Pudding is a breeze with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the interior of your crockpot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
2. Combine Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
3. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs into the mashed bananas until well combined.
4. Mix in Milk and Sugar: Stir in the whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
5. Add Bread: Gently fold in the cubed bread, ensuring that all pieces are coated with the banana mixture. If using, add chopped nuts and chocolate chips at this stage.
6. Transfer to Crockpot: Pour the mixture into the prepared crockpot, spreading it evenly.
7. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or on high for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the pudding is set and the top is golden.
8. Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the pudding is ready.
9. Cool Slightly: Once done, turn off the crockpot and allow the pudding to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

These simple steps will lead you to a warm and comforting dessert that everyone will adore!
