Indulge in the rich and creamy flavors of this Slow Cooker Peanut Butter Brownie recipe. Combining the heavenly tastes of dark chocolate and peanut butter, this dessert promises a delightful experience for all chocolate lovers. What’s even better? The slow cooker makes it incredibly easy to whip up these delectable brownies without too much fuss.
Instructions:
- Line the interior of your slow cooker with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. This will help to easily remove the brownie later.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir frequently to ensure a smooth mixture without any lumps. Once fully melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder) into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to maintain the fudgy texture of the brownie.
- Warm the peanut butter slightly if necessary to make it easier to spread. Add dollops of peanut butter into the batter, and use a spatula to gently fold it in, creating a marbled effect rather than fully mixing.
- Fold the peanuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly. Cover with the lid and cook on low for about 2.5 to 3 hours. The brownie is done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the brownie cool for about 10-15 minutes. Carefully lift the brownie out using the parchment paper or spoon it out if you greased the slow cooker directly.
- Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a crowd pleaser, making this dessert perfect for any occasion.

Slow cooker peanut butter brownie FAQ:
Cook the brownies on low for about 2.5 to 3 hours. The brownies are done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
You can substitute all-purpose white wheat flour with regular all-purpose flour or a gluten-free blend, but the texture and taste may vary slightly.
If the brownies are undercooked, cover the slow cooker and continue cooking in 15-minute increments until the center sets. Remember to check with a toothpick for doneness.
You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate or a mix of cocoa powder and oil, but this may alter the flavor and texture of the brownies.
Cooking Tips:
- Use good quality dark chocolate to ensure a rich, intense flavor.
- For a more pronounced peanut taste, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
- Line your slow cooker with parchment paper for easier removal and cleanup.
- Avoid over-mixing the batter once the flour is added to keep the brownies tender.
- If you like your brownies extra gooey, check them 10-15 minutes before the cooking time is up.
