Ingredients
Instructions
MELT THE BUTTER
Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted. Let it cool slightly before use.
Tip: Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content in the recipe.
MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Crack the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, to incorporate fully.
Tip: Use room-temperature eggs to ensure they blend more easily with the butter and sugar.
ADD THE DRY INGREDIENTS
Sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and salt into a separate bowl to remove any lumps. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until the batter is thick and uniform. Avoid overmixing.
Tip: Sifting the dry ingredients ensures a smooth, lump-free batter for a perfect brownie texture.
PREPARE THE AIR FRYER
Line the air fryer basket or a small baking pan that fits into the air fryer with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
Tip: Trim the parchment paper to fit neatly, avoiding any overhang that could interfere with the air fryer circulation.
POUR THE BATTER
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness. Smooth the top for even baking.
Tip: Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles in the batter.
AIR FRY THE BROWNIES
Preheat the air fryer to 160°C (320°F). Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-18 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Adjust the time slightly (if needed).
Tip: Avoid opening the air fryer too often during cooking, as it can affect the temperature and cooking consistency.
COOL AND SLICE
Carefully remove the pan from the air fryer using tongs or oven mitts. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before transferring them to a cutting board. Slice into 9 even squares.
Tip: Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat, even slices.
SERVE AND ENJOY
Arrange the brownies on a serving plate and serve as is or with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or fresh berries.
Tip: For a richer flavor, store the brownies in an airtight container overnight; their taste improves as they rest.
