How to Make the Recipe

Let’s get started on these scrumptious brownies!

1. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
5. Line an air fryer-safe baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter into it, spreading evenly.
6. Place the baking dish in the preheated air fryer and cook for 15-18 minutes.
7. Check for doneness using a toothpick; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some tips to ensure your brownies turn out perfectly every time:

• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be just combined for the best texture.
• Feel free to add in your favorite mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or even a swirl of peanut butter for a fun twist!
• Keep an eye on the brownies as they cook; air fryers can vary in temperature, and you want to avoid overcooking.
• Let the brownies cool slightly before cutting them for cleaner edges.

How to Serve

These brownies are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them even further! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
• Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
• Serve with fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
• Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these brownies in advance, here’s how to store them:

• Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• You can also freeze brownies! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They’ll last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
• To enjoy frozen brownies, simply thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes to warm them up.
