- 125 ml (4 fl oz/½ cup) maple syrup
- 80 ml (2½ fl oz/1/3 cup) agave syrup or mild honey
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 150 g (5½ oz/1 cup) wholemeal (whole-wheat) plain (all-purpose) flour

How To Make Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Grease the slow cooker and line it with baking paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, melt the coconut oil and dark chocolate together.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: Once melted, stir in the cacao powder, maple syrup, agave syrup, vanilla extract, eggs, and salt.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined.
- Stir in Walnuts and Milk Chocolate: Add the coarsely chopped walnuts and milk chocolate pieces to the mixture.
- Cook the Brownies: Pour the batter into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2½ hours or until cooked through when a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs sticking.
- Let the Brownie Rest: Turn off the slow cooker, leaving the brownie inside for 20 minutes to prevent overcooking.
- Cut and Serve: Use the baking paper to lift out the brownie, then cut it into pieces. Dust with cacao powder to serve.
Recipe Tips
- Grease the Slow Cooker Well: Make sure to grease the slow cooker and line it with baking paper. This will help you easily remove the brownies without sticking or breaking apart.
- Melt Chocolate Gently: Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil slowly over simmering water. This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When folding in the flour and baking powder, mix just until combined. Overmixing can make the brownies dense instead of light and fudgy.
- Check with a Skewer: Start testing the brownies with a skewer 30 minutes before the suggested time. Slow cookers vary, so checking early helps avoid overcooking.
- Let Brownies Rest: After cooking, let the brownies sit for 20 minutes in the slow cooker before removing them. This prevents them from continuing to cook and becoming too dry.
