Weight Watchers Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Impossible Chocolate Brownie Pie
I’m a big fan of Bisquick Impossible Pies—have you ever tried them? Originally introduced in 1978 (and later renamed Impossibly Easy pies in 1997), they’re quick, easy, and always delicious. This Impossibly Easy Slow Cooker Chocolate Brownie Pie is no exception!
Made with Bisquick, it bakes up soft, gooey, and deeply chocolaty—all with minimal effort. Just mix up the batter, pour it into the slow cooker, and let it work its magic. With a few lighter swaps, it’s a treat you can enjoy without going overboard. Trust me, this one’s worth saving room for!
Making a Bisquick Impossible Pie couldn’t be easier—just mix a few simple ingredients, pour or layer them in a pie plate (affiliate link), and bake. As it bakes, some of the Bisquick naturally sinks to the bottom, forming a light, crust-like layer—almost like magic! These pies are a cross between a crustless quiche and a classic pie, and they come in both sweet and savory varieties.
But until recently, I had never thought to try baking one in the slow cooker—until the idea for this lightened-up Impossible Chocolate Brownie Pie popped into my head.
Since starting my year of Weight Watchers slow cooker cooking, I have experimented with all kinds of unexpected dishes—from cakes and quiches to pizza, omelets, and frittatas. So I thought, why not Bisquick Impossible Pies?
I’m happy to report that this little experiment was a huge success—a rich, fudgy, chocolatey delight made effortlessly in the slow cooker.
Recipe Notes
My Impossible chocolate brownie pie baked up moist and delicious, with rich chocolate flavor, and just half the calories of the original. I never mentioned it was “lightened up” and nobody ever guessed 🙂
To decrease the fat, calories and WW points in my impossible chocolate brownie pie I:
- Substituted applesauce for 1/2 of the butter.
- Substituted cocoa powder for baking chocolate.
- Reduced the eggs from 4 to 2.
- Used HeartSmart Bisquick instead of original.
- Reduced the chop walnuts from 3/4 cup to 2 tablespoons and sprinkled them on top instead of stirring them into the batter so they were more noticeable.
- Baked it in the slow cooker instead of the oven to help it stay moist.

Ingredients
- 2 eggs – Provide structure and moisture to the brownie pie, giving it a soft, rich texture. Substitution: Use 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters) or 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water) to reduce Points.
- Butter, melted – Adds richness, flavor, and tenderness. Substitution: Swap with light butter (such as Land O’Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil) to reduce fat, or use Greek yogurt for a lower-calorie option while keeping moisture.
- Unsweetened applesauce – A great way to add natural sweetness and moisture while reducing the need for oil or butter.
- Brown sugar – Adds a deep caramel-like sweetness and keeps the texture soft. Substitution: Use a brown sugar alternative like Swerve Brown (affiliate link) or Lakanto Golden Monk Fruit to lower sugar and Points.
- Granulated sugar – Enhances sweetness and contributes to texture. Substitution: Try a zero-calorie sweetener like allulose, monk fruit, or Swerve for a lower-sugar option.
- Heart Smart Bisquick (affiliate link) baking mix – A lighter version of classic Bisquick that provides structure and makes baking easier. Substitution: Swap with Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Mix for added protein and whole grains, or use homemade light Bisquick (whole wheat flour + baking powder + a small amount of light butter).
- Vanilla – Enhances the overall flavor and adds warmth.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder – Gives the chocolatey richness without added sugar or fat. Try Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa for a deeper flavor.
- Chopped walnuts – Add crunch, healthy fats, and a nutty flavor. Substitutions: chopped almonds, pecans or peanuts.

Your crock-pot dessert looks so awesome! I love slow cooker recipes. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Sonja!
I love your website, but the advertisement at the top includes a very gross picture of some sort of skin infection that really clashes with the beautiful food photos. Thought I’d let you know…
Hi Beth,
Thanks for taking the time to comment! We’ll look into seeing if we can block the unsightly advertisement.
Can this recipe be adapted to an oven? My slow cooker is larger than this and this recipe sounds amazing! Also, do you know the calorie count? Thanks so much.
Hi Beth B,
I think it will be fine baked in the oven, though maybe not quite as moist. I would bake in a greased pie plate at 350 degrees for about 20 to 25 minutes. Let us know how it turns out!!
I just did this in the oven and it’s very good. May reduce the sugars a bit next time. Be sure to spray the pie dish well on the bottom. 350 degrees 30 minutes in my oven.
