Slow cooker raspberry brownies are fudge brownies stuffed with raspberries which are great for an indulgent treat!
The cold has definitely got to me recently, I was trying to be healthy but for a few days I have just had to eat warming, rib-sticking dishes, and then I just had to bake some brownies.
No question about it, it had to be brownies.
In this case, not just any brownies, but slow cooker raspberry brownies.
Baked in the slow cooker, they stay so moist and become so fudgy. There is no danger of them drying out as they can in the oven.
For a touch of healthy eating 😉 I’ve used raspberries in the mixture and on top.
The contrast between the tartness of the berries and the sweet fudgy brownies makes the flavours really pop.
Ingredients
Here’s what you will need to make these brownies, get the measurements in the recipe card further down the page:
- dark chocolate
- butter
- eggs
- sugar – I used Demerara but you can use light brown sugar
- plain flour
- raspberries
- icing sugar
Method
- Place the chocolate and butter in a microwaveable bowl, microwave on high for 1-2 mins until melted. Stir until the mixture is smooth and leave it to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer for approx 5 minutes.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold it in gently.
- Sift in the flour and again fold it in carefully, without overmixing.
- To make the brownies in a slow cooker, place a large piece of baking paper in the slow cooker pot, then spray it with cake release spray to prevent sticking. Pour the brownie mixture into the lined pot.
- Place around 100 g of raspberries on top of the mixture and press them in gently.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker, with a tea towel tucked under the lid to catch condensation and prevent drips from falling onto the brownies and making the top soggy.
- Bake on high for 1-2 hours, until the edges are firm. Times really vary according to your slow cooker so keep an eye on it and take it out when cooked. The centre should be firm underneath when you check it with a knife, and not too gooey, but the top in the centre should remain a little soft, to make the brownies nice and fudgy.
You can of course make these in the oven too (approx 25 mins at 180°C) but if you have a slow cooker you should try baking in there, it gives great results.
These brownies disappeared fast, and I’ll have to make more very soon I think. My diet won’t thank me for it but still…
Look how fudgy they are inside with those raspberries!

Ooo, slow cooker brownies! Now that’s an interesting idea, they look yummy and just how I like ’em!
I’ve not got much experience with slow cookers, but I did make a dessert in one the other week (that my friend whose slow cooker it was found on Pinterest). I like the texture it produced and that it freed the regular oven for cooking the roast dinner (which Mr VB did!).

Thanks, they were lovely and fudgy! Desserts in there are great, so easy, you can just forget about them for a couple of hours,

I don’t know where i’d be without our slow cooker. I have to confess I have never used it for cake or brownies. I’ll give this a try, it looks delicious.

They are the best aren’t they, can have surprising results with baking in one, do try one day 🙂
