These are gooey peanut swirl brownies baked in your slow cooker! They look good enough to eat even before cooking.
I was inspired to try out peanut swirl brownies by a photo and recipe I saw on Pinterest by Love and Olive Oil.
It looked absolutely delicious! So I decided to try my own slow cooker peanut swirl brownies.
Baking in the slow cooker is one of my favourite pastimes, it takes time but you can just leave it and get on with something else!
Armed with my inspiration, I set about to make my own version using a standard brownie recipe with added peanut swirl.
I was pleased to see that my brownie batter with the peanut swirl topping looked wonderful even before cooking!
After an hour it looked like this, it has started to rise and bake around the edges:
When finished the peanut swirl brownies were fudgy with great flavour from the peanut butter.
Lovely to share for a naughty treat! The family loved this and I get a lot of requests to make it again.
