Crockpot Lava Cake- Brookie Style

Crockpot Lava Cake

Crockpot Lava Cake…Part Brownie, Part Cookie! 100% Delicious. Crockpot Lava Cake is the greatest creation in baking history! You can make this ooey gooey combination with just a few ingredients. Crockpot Lava Cake makes the perfect easy dessert option that everyone is sure to love!

If you haven’t heard of lava cake it’s a delicious and decadent dessert that is soft in the middle and cooked on the sides. I decided while I was on vacation in the mountains and that I would try to make a new dessert, Crockpot Lava Cake- Brookie version! It’s made with a cookie base and then a brownie batter poured on top. There is an old Crockpot in the cabin so we went to the store and got a few box ingredients and gave it a try!

I used a box mix of brownies and pre-made cookies so it was quick and fun for the kids to help. I was actually amazed that the small local grocery store had gluten free Glutino brownie mix and cookies but they did!!

This turned out into a fabulous dessert that everyone loved! They were gooey brownies with a cookie crust. I prefer my brownies on the softer, almost unbaked, side so these were right up my alley. If you like your brownies cakey I wouldn’t recommend these. I decided to take it up a notch and add ice cream and some chopped REESE’S Pieces to make the ultimate monster lava cake.

Quick Tip- Place tea towel under lid to catch any moisture while cooking.

Cook on high for 2-3 hours. This timing varies depending on your slow cooker and how much you want your brownie cooked.

Food Allergies

Gluten Free – I make everything gluten free in our house because my husband had celiac disease, which is when you are allergic to gluten. Unfortunately, most brownie and cookie dough has gluten in it so to stay gluten free you need to use a brownie mix and a cookie dough that is gluten free. I used this gluten free brownie mix and a gluten free cookie dough .

If you are not gluten free swap the gluten free brownie mix and cookie dough for any brownie mix and cookie dough.

Need A New Crock Pot?

My favorite is this Crock Pot 7 quart Programmable Slow Cooker. First and foremost, I love being able to set the timer in case I’m not home when the food is finished cooking and it just switches to warm. Plus you can lock the lid and just carry it to a party. Not only is it easy to carry but also you will never lose another Tupperware or serving dish again at a potluck party!

LOOKING FOR A DELICIOUS MAIN DISH TO GO WITH THE LAVA CAKE?

No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls

no bake oatmeal energy balls

This is the easiest recipe you will ever make! Ok, so that might not be true but I swear No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls are the easiest and tastiest recipe I have ever made. If you have ever found an easier recipe please send it to me so I can make it! This original recipe came from my Mom who would let us make these with her in the kitchen. My Mom’s recipe had wheat germ on them, don’t ask I’m not really sure what that is, but they have morphed into these tasty treats that are now a staple in my fridge.

There are so many reasons why these are the best! As the name says you don’t need to bake these sweet treats. All you have to do is mix 4 ingredients in a bowl and you have a quick protein packed breakfast, on the go snack or afternoon treat to tide you over to dinner. I just might eat one every day, just sayin! Energy balls are a quick and healthy snack you can feel good about eating. These are gluten free but you can use any oatmeal you have, quick cooking oats or old fashioned. Another great part is that you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now.

Easy Substitutes for No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls

Gluten Free– We use Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oats to make our oatmeal Energy Balls gluten free. They are produced in a dedicated gluten free facility. While oats are actually gluten free there is no way to avoid cross contamination with wheat while they are growing or being processed in a typical setting. My husband has celiac disease so we keep our No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls gluten free so he can eat them too.

Peanut Allergy– Swap out Peanut Butter for whatever Nut Butter you like. You can use Sun Butter to make a switch and they will still taste scrumptious.

Cooking with Kids- No Bake Oatmeal Energy Balls

These are a super fun and easy treat to make with kids because as I said before they only require mixing! This is a great way to introduce your kids to cooking just like my Mom did. If you want you can add whatever mix ins that your kids might like.

Mix It Up with Mix-Ins

This recipe is the basic recipe I use when I make my energy balls but the options are really endless for what you can mix in to make these just how you like them.

– Raisins

– White Chocolate Chips

– Mini MMs

– Flax Seeds

– Hemp Seeds

– Coconut Flakes
