Instructions

- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Pour Batter into Slow Cooker: Spread the brownie batter evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Fudge Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and brown sugar. Gradually stir in the hot water until smooth.
- Pour the fudge sauce mixture evenly over the brownie batter. Do not stir.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours, or until the brownie is set on top but gooey underneath.
- Serve: Spoon the warm brownies into bowls, making sure to include some of the fudge sauce. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Tips for Perfect Slow Cooker Brownies
- Avoid Overcooking: Check the brownies after 2 hours on high to ensure they stay fudgy.
- Line the Slow Cooker: Parchment paper makes cleanup easy and prevents sticking.
- Add Extras: Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or marshmallows to the brownie batter for added texture.
- Make It Fancy: Drizzle with caramel or sprinkle with sea salt for an extra indulgent touch.
