    My slow cooker chocolate brownies (marshmallow brownies and peanut swirl brownies) were a great success so I decided to make blondies with chunks of chocolate and fresh cherry instead. Read on for my recipe for slow cooker chocolate cherry blondies!

    What are blondies?

    If you haven’t heard of them, blondies can either be like a white chocolate version of chocolate brownies (as with my white chocolate Oreo blondies) or they can even be made without melted chocolate in the batter, as I have done here.

    They still have that lovely texture of fudgy brownies even when the mixture does not contain melted chocolate.

    Of course I did add some chopped chocolate to the mixture!

    Today I had some lovely juicy fresh cherries so added a few of those too.

    Not too many though as they were so juicy I though they would make the batter too wet.

    Slow cooker baking

    Baking in a slow cooker is one of my favourite pastimes.

    Do other things while you bake and with excellent results! The slow cooker’s gentle heat means it won’t burn quickly and your bakes will be wonderfully soft.

    Plus it is cheaper than baking in a normal oven!

    Check out all my slow cooker bakes in my recipe index.

    Ingredients

    Here’s what you will need for this recipe, get the quantities in the recipe card below:

    • light brown sugar
    • butter
    • egg
    • vanilla extract
    • plain flour
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • milk chocolate
    • fresh cherries 

    Method

    4. Stir in most of the chopped chocolate and cherries, leaving some to scatter on top.
    5. Grease and line your slow cooker pot. I used a large cake case but you can also use baking paper.

    7. Cook on high for 1-2 hours or until a skewer comes out clean.

      It looks so tempting! Blondies are one of our favourite sweet snacks and I love that it’s made in the slow cooker.
