Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
- Prepare the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Lightly spray a 6-inch round or square baking pan that fits into your air fryer with cooking spray.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Pour into the Pan:
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Air Fry the Brownies:
- Place the pan in the preheated air fryer. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (for fudgy brownies) or clean (for cakier brownies). Check at the 15-minute mark and adjust the cooking time as needed.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pan from the air fryer and let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Enjoy these delicious Air Fryer Brownies as a quick and satisfying dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, offering the rich chocolate flavor and perfect texture that everyone loves.
