I've not made this yet but a friend of mine said they rock!!!

Slow Cooker Brownies
(Makes 32 brownies)

Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
1-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup apple sauce, unsweetened
2 medium, ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup honey
4 egg whites
6 ounces unsweetened Baker’s Chocolate (6 squares)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ cup walnuts (optional)
Olive oil in an oil sprayer

Directions
Step 1 – Line the bottom of your slow cooker with parchment by placing the slow cooker liner on a piece of parchment, drawing a line around the base and cutting out. After inserting the liner, spray the entire inside with an oil sprayer.

Step 2 – In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, cocoa powder and baking soda with a whisk. In the microwave (microwave safe bowl), melt the chocolate for 2 minutes, and then in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one until the chocolate is melted. Stir the oil into the chocolate.

Step 3 – In a separate large mixing bowl, blend the apple sauce, mashed bananas, honey, egg whites, and melted chocolate.

Step 4 – Combine well with the whisk. Pour into slow cooker liner and cook for 4 hours. A knife inserted into the middle should pull out clean. If not, continue to cook without the lid for an additional 1/2 hour. To remove, run a knife around the edge of the liner and flip upside down onto a clean surface. The brownie should slide right out. Allow to cool. Slice and serve.

Time: 4-4-1/2 hours

The fact that you combined 3 of my most favorite things - healthy options, brownies and slow cookers - gives you brownie points in my books! LOL

I will have to try this.

If I can trick my eldest into eating brownies made with bananas and wheat flour then I'm game. He hasn't eaten a fruit or a vegetable *unless you count catsup* in probably 8 or 9 years! Thanks for the recipe!!

HOLY yum!

I bet you could use agave nectar instead of honey. I've been told that agave nectar is sweeter so you can use less of it. Might be worth a try. Plus, I think agave nectar is better for controlling blood sugars (thinking diabetics here....)
