Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ cups Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup Butter, melted
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Optional Mix-ins

  • ½ cup Chocolate Chips or Chunks
  • ½ cup Chopped Walnuts or Pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder (optional)
  • ¼ cup Dried Cherries or Fresh Raspberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker generously with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt until evenly mixed, creating a chocolatey dry base.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract slowly into the dry mixture until smooth and thick, forming a luscious batter.
  4. Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in chocolate chips or chunks gently to keep them from melting entirely but allowing pockets of gooey chocolate within the brownies. Add any optional nuts, espresso powder, or fruit at this stage if desired.
  5. Cook Low and Slow: Pour the batter into the slow cooker, spread evenly, cover with the lid, and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours until the edges set but the center remains fudgy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool slightly in the slow cooker before slicing, giving them time to firm up for perfect, clean cuts. Garnish as desired and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a liner: For easier cleanup and removal, consider lining your slow cooker with parchment paper.
  • Don’t overcook: Check brownies around the 2-hour mark since slow cooker temperatures vary; overcooking can dry them out.
  • Mix well: Ensure all ingredients are fully combined to avoid uneven texture or flour pockets.
  • Temperature matters: Cooking on low prevents the edges from burning and the center from undercooking.
  • Let it rest: Cooling brownies in the slow cooker helps them firm up, so they slice neatly without crumbling.
