These brownies feature a perfect crispy edge with a rich, fudgy, and gooey chocolate center, made quickly and easily in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (45g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ⅓ cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: pinch of espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C), about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Lightly grease a 6-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and optional espresso powder.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly through the batter.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  9. Place pan in air fryer and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 15-18 minutes. Check at 15 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  10. Let brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Preheat the air fryer for best texture. Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter. Rotate pan halfway through cooking if your air fryer heats unevenly. Slightly undercook for gooier brownies. Avoid overmixing to prevent toughness. Use good-quality chocolate chips for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Nuts or other mix-ins can be added before cooking.
