- Whisk together the remaining ingredients and stir into the chocolate mixture. Stir in optional ingredients.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Brownies
- For quick and easy clean-up, line the baking dish with parchment paper that overlaps on two sides. This creates a handle that allows for easy removal and cutting.
- Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for faster and easier blending.
- Do not overcook! Brownies should be cooked until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs attached. This way they’ll stay gooey even after they’re cooled.
- Save a plastic knife from take-out and use it to cut brownies! Brownies won’t stick to a plastic knife! Or spray a regular knife with pan spray.
Storing Brownies
Store air fryer brownies in a covered container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Freeze individual brownies in plastic wrap before transferring them to a zippered bag. They’ll last up to 4 weeks in the freezer.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg room temperature
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Line a 6-inch square or round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth.
- Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well. Whisk in the egg.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out to the edges. Place the pan into the air fryer basket.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should still have moist crumbs stuck to it. If the top of the brownies starts to get too brown while they are cooking, tent a piece of foil overtop.
- Remove from air fryer and let sit in the pan for at least 30 minutes to set. Once cooled, cut into squares.
