Air Fryer Double Chocolate Chip Brownies
These double chocolate chip brownies are fudgy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Made entirely in the air fryer, they are quick, easy, and perfect for a chocolate fix any time. Kids and adults will fight over the last square, so make extra if you can.
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 plus a few extra for topping
Instructions
- Spray a 6-inch round pan or any air fryer safe dish with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper if you want easy lifting.
- In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until glossy and silky.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix gently until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and fold carefully. Sprinkle a few extra on top for melty goodness.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Set air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 15–18 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center to check. Moist crumbs = perfect fudgy brownies.
- Let brownies cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut into small squares because they are rich.
