Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings: 8
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
- Whole hazelnuts, for garnish
Instructions
- Line the bottom and sides of your slow cooker with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies once baked.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared slow cooker. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the batter, and use a knife to swirl it gently through the batter.
- Cover the slow cooker with a clean kitchen towel before placing the lid on top. This will absorb any condensation and prevent it from dripping onto the brownies.
- Cook on the low setting for 2 hours, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Carefully lift the brownies out of the slow cooker using the parchment paper. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
- Dust the cooled brownies with powdered sugar and garnish with whole hazelnuts before serving.
Helpful Tips
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the brownie batter.
- If you prefer a thicker brownie, use a smaller slow cooker.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Ingredient substitution: Use almond butter or peanut butter instead of Nutella for a different twist.
Pairings
These Slow Cooker Nutella Brownies pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a cozy beverage, serve with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
