Air Fryer Tahini Brownies
This air fryer tahini brownie recipe makes the softest and warm brownies with a tiny nutty taste. They cook fast and are great for busy days when the teens are yelling about snacks again. The air fryer keeps the top crispy and the middle gooey, and the whole thing feels like dessert magic with very little work.
Ingredients
- Half cup cocoa powder
- Half cup sugar
- One third cup flour
- Half teaspoon baking powder
- One fourth teaspoon salt
- Two eggs
- Half cup tahini
- One third cup melted butter or melted coconut oil
- One teaspoon vanilla
- Chocolate chips if you want extra sweet
Instructions
Step 1
- Mix cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. It is fine if it gets lumpy. Stir a bit more.
Step 2
- Add eggs, tahini, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix till it looks thick and shiny.
Step 3
- Add chocolate chips if you want. My teens yell for more chocolate every time.
Step 4
- Line a small pan with parchment paper and pour the batter in. Make sure it fits in your air fryer basket.
Step 5
- Cook at 320 F for 12 to 14 minutes. Check around minute 12. The middle should look a little soft.
Step 6
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting. It feels hard to wait, but it helps the brownies stay together.

Variations
- Add peanut butter swirls on top for a fun twist.
