List of Ingredients




In a large bowl, I combined 1 cup of natural peanut butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of softened butter. In went 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. I sprinkled in some ground flax seed (optional) and then added a little more than 1/2 cup of flour, plus 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. For good measure (although I didn’t measure), I threw in what I had left of semisweet chocolate chips, probably about 3/4 cup. After coating the slow cooker with nonstick olive oil spray, I evenly spread the batter. Using a wooden spoon, I propped open the slow cooker lid and flipped the switch to high.









Recipe



Slow Cooker Brownies: Sure, they were delicious, but worth the extra time?

After an hour and a half, I checked on the brownies. Not done. Twenty more minutes on the timer. Still not done. Fifteen more minutes on the timer. Still not done? After 3 hours, I decided that this tired mom had to get to bed, so I turned off the slow cooker and hit the sheets.

Despite my haste in getting to bed (forgive me, I have a 2-1/2-year-old!), the brownies were very good. More fudgy than cakelike, but definitely tasty. After the initial shock of “You made brownies . . . In what?” wore off, the reviews went like this: “Moist and chewy and very peanut-buttery.” “Great for kids, but adults might find themselves addicted, too!” “Dangerously delicious!”

But I wonder: What is the point? Yes, I do enjoy using my slow cooker, but I harbor no ill will toward my oven. I could have turned out equal deliciousness in only 30 minutes!
