Ingredients
  

For the brownies
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter (1 stick) melted
  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips plus an optional additional 1 cup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Create a foil collar for your 6-quart slow cooker to prevent the edges from burning while cooking.
  2. Fold several sheets of foil, line the inside of the slow cooker, and spray it with nonstick spray.
  3. Place a sheet of parchment paper at the bottom of the slow cooker inside the foil collar.
Mixing
  1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Add the sugar, mix well, then stir in the eggs and vanilla until combined.
  4. Fold in the flour mixture and chocolate chips without overmixing.
Cooking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared slow cooker and cover.
  2. Cook on low for about 3 hours.
  3. Turn off the slow cooker and let the brownies cool inside for an additional hour.
  4. Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely before cutting.

Notes

For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Add walnuts or pecans for extra crunch. Serve warm with whipped cream for a gourmet touch.
