🥘Ingredients

For the Batter

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp espresso powder
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Grease the inside of the crock pot liner with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the brownies from sticking.
2Turn on the crock pot to low heat.
3In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar.
4Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
6Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder.
7Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain.
8Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
9Gradually add the flour, stirring just until combined.
10Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using).
11Spread the batter evenly into the greased crock pot liner.
12Cover the crock pot with the lid and let it cook on low heat for 2 hours.
13The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
14Do not overcook, as they will continue to cook slightly after removing from the crock pot.
15Turn off the crock pot and let the brownies cool for 10-15 minutes.
16This allows the brownies to set and makes them easier to cut.
17Use a spatula to loosen the edges of the brownies from the crock pot liner, then carefully lift them out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips: Avoid opening the crock pot lid during cooking, as this can cause the brownies to cook unevenly. For a fun twist, try adding a layer of peanut butter or caramel sauce to the top of the brownies before serving.
