Slow Cooker Brownie Recipe
Description
The brownies use melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chunks. The batter is whisked until just combined, then spread into a well-greased slow cooker insert. Cooking on low heat for 2 to 3 hours allows the edges to set firmly while leaving the center slightly gooey and moist. Placing a thin cotton towel between the lid and slow cooker limits condensation dripping on the batter, preserving texture.
The final product offers a rich cocoa taste combined with the contrast of semi-melted chocolate chunks. The texture is dense but tender, differing from traditional oven-baked brownies with a softer center. These brownies suit serving as a dessert or snack, possibly paired with cream or ice cream to complement the fudgy texture.
Properly measuring ingredients, especially flour, ensures a balanced outcome without being too dry or dense. Milk chocolate chunks may substitute the semi-sweet ones depending on preference. Baking times may vary based on slow cooker model and temperature consistency.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter melted
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Generously grease the insert of a 4-quart slow cooker nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well-combined.
- Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Whisk in just until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter out into the prepared insert.
- Lay a thin cotton towel across the opening and put the lid on top of the towel.
- Cook on low for 2-3 hours. The brownies should look done around the edges but still look undercooked and gooey in the center.
Notes
- Measure flour by stirring, lightly spooning into the cup, then leveling to avoid dry brownies.
- Milk chocolate chunks can be used instead of semi-sweet based on taste.
