My kids helped me make this awesome slow cooker brownie masterpiece. It was a fun afternoon of working in the kitchen and learning how to measure things. Do you and your children make fun goodies together?
Check out what my pals over at A Year Of Slow Cooking had to say about this recipe:
“We were lucky in that we had everything on hand for this brainstorm—which is good because after all the vegetable dishes I’ve been eating lately, my sweet tooth was on the prowl.”
It’s likely that you’ll have everything on hand, too. These ingredients are pretty basic. if you don’t, just improvise with other tasty things 🙂
Ingredients
1 16-ounce package of Duncan Hines brownie mix
1/4 cup Land O Lakes melted butter
1 Eggland’s Best egg
1/4 cup water
1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup Fisher walnuts
1/4 cup Bakers coconut
1/4 cup Quaker oats
Instructions
I used my mini 1.5 quart crockpot for this dish, because my other one had a chicken dish in it (coming tomorrow!).
The proportions of the oats, coconut, and walnuts are for the mini crock. If you decide to use a larger size, use enough of the toppings to spread over the whole surface area, OR use a baking dish inside of your big guy —- the way I describe, HERE.
–melt butter (I was lazy and didn’t want to dirty another bowl, so I melted the butter in the crock while I was doing the dishes)
–add 1/4 cup of water, the egg, and the brownie mix
–stir until none of the powder is left dry; batter will be quite thick
–pour can of sweetened condensed milk over the top.
–Shuffle children quickly out of the kitchen because you are “working” and lick out the inside of the can, being careful so you don’t cut off your tongue.
–wash sweetened condensed milk off of your face
–cover milk with a layer of oats, then coconut, then walnuts.
–close up crockpot and cook on high, if using a little crock, low if using a bigger one.
Test with a knife after two hours, if it comes out clean, cook for another 20-30 minutes with the lid off to get rid of the collected condensation and to help solidify the condensed milk.
You will know this is done when the edges pull away from your stoneware.
Since I used my mini crockpot, this cooked for about 4 1/2 hours altogether. That’s a really long time to wait for brownies, so I needed to go to Target and buy stuff we didn’t need to eat up the time.

Quick Tip: I left the nuts out of this recipe and replaced them with more chocolate chips. heavenly!
Thank you to A Year Of Slow Cooking for this great recipe.
