Slow Cooker Quinoa Brownies. You guys!!! You have to try these slow cooker vegan quinoa brownies! Just when you thought quinoa brownies could not get any better.
This recipe is seriously easy and it can cook while you are not even home. I added peanut butter to these slow cooker gluten free quinoa brownies, but you can really use any nut butter you like. Who doesn’t like chocolate and peanut butter together, right?
If you need a nut free version, I think sunflower butter will go very well. I wanted to take the peanut butter chocolate flavors to the next level, so I swirled some peanut butter on top of these as well.
Not only are these slow cooker quinoa brownies easy to make, but they also come with a boost of healthy protein. This recipe freezes well also.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs (real eggs will work too)
- 3/4 cup peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tsp vanilla extract

For the peanut butter swirl
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 T almond milk (or milk of choice)
Instructions
- Combine all the brownie ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Line your slow cooker with parchment paper. Make sure you have a little going up the sides as well.
- Pour the batter into the parchment lined slow cooker .
- To make the peanut butter swirl topping, melt the peanut butter and almond milk in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Just mix until you have a loose enough consistency to swirl on top.
- Swirl the peanut butter mixture on top. I used a thin spatula .
- I cooked the brownies on low for about 2 hours and they turned out great. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. I could tell it was done when I felt the top spring back a little.
- Once the brownies are done, lift them out by the edges of the parchment paper.
- I used a pizza cutter to slice mine into small bars.
- Store in the fridge. They should last at least a week. You can also freeze them for longer. Enjoy!
