Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tbsp chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 315°F (157°C) for 5 minutes, allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for baking. Grease a 6-inch round cake pan and set it aside to prepare for the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until evenly mixed, then set this bowl aside for later use.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and chocolate chips. Melt them together in 30-second increments, stirring between each session until fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk the egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually mix the melted butter and chocolate into the egg mixture. Then, gently fold in the dry flour mixture just until it disappears, being careful not to overmix to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Bake in Air Fryer: Pour the batter into the greased 6-inch cake pan. Place the pan inside the preheated air fryer and bake at 315°F (157°C) for 15 minutes.
- Check for Doneness: About two-thirds through baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie. If it comes out mostly dry with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
- Cool: Using oven mitts, carefully remove the cake pan from the air fryer and let the brownie cool for 10 minutes to set properly.
- Serve: Serve the brownies warm topped with ice cream or whipped cream, or enjoy them plain for a classic fudgy treat.
Notes
- Use a 6-inch round pan for the best fit and even cooking inside the air fryer.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary significantly, so check your brownie for doneness early to avoid overbaking.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to one week for a fudgier texture.
- Reheat brownies briefly in the microwave before serving to achieve that warm, gooey texture.
