Air Fryer Brownies
This recipe is the ultimate guide to making a small batch of delicious brownies in your air fryer. They have a perfectly soft, gooey center and a crisp, crackly top, with no long preheating times.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Small, air fryer-safe baking pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 113g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup 60g all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup 40g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup 85g chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract.
- Mix Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour and Arrange: Pour the brownie batter into a greased and floured air fryer-safe pan. Place the pan in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring there is space for air to circulate.
- Air Fry: Cook at 325°F (165°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing to allow them to set.
Notes
-
- Don't Overbake: For a perfectly gooey center, remove the brownies when they still look slightly soft in the middle, as they will continue to cook as they cool.
- Cooling is Crucial: Do not skip the cooling step. It is essential for the brownies to set and achieve their final texture.
