Quick, fudgy chocolate brownies with a crinkly top, made using minimal ingredients in your air fryer.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
02 -
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
03 -
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
04 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
1/4 cup unsalted butter
07 -
2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
08 -
1 large egg
09 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 315°F (157°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly grease a 6-inch round cake pan and set aside.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate small bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
04 -
In a large bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light in color and fluffy.
05 -
Slowly pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until incorporated. Gently fold in the dry ingredients just until no flour streaks remain, taking care not to overmix.
06 -
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the preheated air fryer. Bake at 315°F (157°C) for 15 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick about two-thirds into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
07 -
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Serve plain or topped with ice cream or whipped cream as desired.
# Extra Tips & Details:
01 -
Brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or refrigerated for up to one week. Reheat gently to restore fudginess.
02 -
Air fryer temperatures and cooking times may vary; adjust accordingly and monitor doneness with a toothpick test.
03 -
If a 6-inch round pan is unavailable, ramekins can be used but baking time may need slight reduction.
04 -
Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for enhanced flavor.
