Air fryer brownies are simple to make, and cook faster than in an oven. The secret is to pull them when they still look slightly underdone; they'll firm up as they cool. This page has all the ingredient amounts, instructions, and cook times you need.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Steps
- 01Melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each. Or melt in a small saucepan over low heat.
- 02Stir in the sugar, egg, and vanilla.
- 03Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until just combined. A few streaks of flour are fine. Overmixing makes tough brownies.
- 04Pour into greased ramekins (fill 2/3 full) or a small baking pan that fits inside your air fryer basket.
- 05Ready for the air fryer.
Air fryer brownies cook from the outside in, faster than an oven. They'll look underdone in the center when you pull them and that's correct. They firm up as they cool. If you wait until they look done in the air fryer, they'll be overbaked by the time they set.

- 03Place the pan into the air fryer basket and cook for 18 minutes.
