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.
