Air Fryer Fudgy Chocolate Brownies
This air fryer brownie recipe is soft, warm, and very fudgy. It is great for busy days when my three teenagers keep asking for dessert again. The air fryer makes it fast and easy. It feels like a small sweet break in a loud house.
Ingredients
- 1 half cup melted butter
- 3 fourths cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 half cup cocoa powder
- 1 half cup all purpose flour
- 1 fourth teaspoon salt
- 1 half cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1
- Mix the melted butter and sugar in a bowl until it looks smooth.
Step 2
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Stir until it looks creamy.
Step 3
- Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Mix slow so the cocoa does not fly everywhere. Add chocolate chips at the end.
Step 4
- Pour the batter into a greased small pan that fits inside your air fryer.
Step 5
- Place the pan in the air fryer. Cook at 325 F for 14 to 18 minutes until the top looks set but the middle feels soft.
Step 6
- Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before cutting. This helps them stay fudgy and not fall apart.
