Crock Pot Brownies are an easy way to bake up a delicious dessert without the use of an oven. Throw in a Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl for a festive fall treat!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, fall is finally here tomorrow!
You guessed it, the first day of fall is… tomorrow, but I won’t lie, for the past two weeks I’ve totally been cheating and eating everything apple, pumpkin and squash I could get my hands on!
I also may or may not have been trying to rock boots, scarves and sweaters even though it’s still 80 degrees outside!
What can I say, fall is my favorite time of the year and I couldn’t wait to start sharing all of my favorite fall recipes on Instagram, like Apple Butternut Squash Bruschetta & Pumpkin Chili. As well as introducing new fall favorites on the blog, like these Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirled Crock Pot Brownies!
I mean, what says fall more that pumpkin, baking and a slow cooker!
Now I know what you’re thinking, brownies in a crock pot, could this really work? And let me tell you, it really does! The edges still get a nice little crispiness to them, while the middle is gooey, chewy, deliciousness!
Lining the crock pot with non-stick foil makes taking them out and serving them a breeze, with no mess left behind!
Baking brownies in a crock pot also frees up oven space for other important items like Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf and Crispy Rosemary Parmesan Sweet Potato Fries. Which is exactly what was baking in my oven on Sunday when I whipped up these brownies for a dinner party!
Super easy brownies from scratch, that are totally delicious and require virtually no clean up. Crock pot brownies for the win!

Now if you wanted to top these crock pot brownies with Ben & Jerry’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup for the most ultimate Pumpkin Cheesecake Chocolate sundae EVER I would not judge… I mean, I really have no room to judge since that’s exactly what I did last night! 😉
For this recipe I used a 3.5 Quart Casserole Crock Pot, but a standard large oval crock pot would work as well. I definitely recommend lining whatever crock pot you use with non-stick foil as it makes the brownies super easy to remove from the crock pot without crumbling, and the easy, breezy clean-up is a total win!
