Easy Air Fryer Brownies

all-purpose flour

cocoa powder

sugar

unsalted butter (melted)

eggs

vegetable oil

vanilla extract

salt

baking powder

prepare your 7-inch baking pan by generously greasing with butter on the bottom and all sides. Set aside.

Preheat your Air Fryer by setting the temperature to 330 degrees Fahrenheit and allowing it to run for about 5 minutes while you prepare your brownie batter.

Add your all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, butter, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.

Add it to the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.

Place in your preheated Air Fryer and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick entered in the center comes out mostly clean.

Remove and allow to cool in the pan before removing and cutting.

Small Batch Vegan Air Fryer Brownies

whole wheat pastry flour

organic sugar

Tablespoon ground flax seeds

non-dairy milk

aquafaba ((the liquid

Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl. Then mix the wet ingredients in a large measuring cup. Add the wet to the dry and mix well.

Add in the mix-in(s) of your choice and mix again.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Line a 5-inch round cake or pie pan (or a loaf pan that fits in your air fryer) with parchment paper. (Alternatively you can spray the pan with oil, but then the brownies will not be oil-free.)

Place the pan in the fryer basket or on the tray if you have an oven-style air fryer. Cook for 20 minutes. If the middle is not well set or a knife doesn&#39;t come out clean when stuck in the middle, cook for 5 minutes more and repeat as needed. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan and your particular air fryer.

Let the brownies cool for about 30 minutes before cutting.

You’re only minutes away from indulging in decadent, gooey, fudgy air fryer brownies! This homemade recipe is just as easy as boxed brownies and tastes even better.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in 30-second 50% power increments, stirring occasionally until smooth.

Whisk in the cocoa powder and set aside to cool.

Preheat the air fryer to 330 degrees F while you make the batter.

In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, and vanilla until well combined.

Add warm chocolate mixture and whisk well.

Add flour and salt and fold in with a spatula until just combined.

Sprinkle the top with additional chocolate chips, if desired.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and place it in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 22-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the outer edges comes out with dry crumbs. The center will still be a little gooey, but the brownies will continue to cook in the middle after removing.

I just made these delicious brownies today, July 21, 2025. They’re so moist and flavourful, even my husband loved them. I’m going to double the recipe and make a brownie birthday cake for my 8 year old granddaughter when she visits this weekend. We’re on the lake in Canada. Thank you Katrin for your talent and for sharing so many wonderful recipes.

I’ve really enjoyed your recipes, I’ve lost 90 lbs and they help me maintain my weight loss while still following a keto-ish lifestyle.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these, they are my new go to for a brownie recipe. They are delicious and I’ve already made a second batch. What is the easiest way to blend them because the batter is super thick.

Very tasty. I'm off sugar and carbs for Cancer and these hit the spot for my sweet-tooth. Used Monkfruit sweetner and added some dark chocolate sugar free chocolate chips. I also make them in cupcake tins for easy 1 piece serving sizes.

I've made this twice so far, really delicious!

These were so easy to make and a lovely fudgy texture. I used a high protein cottage cheese (Piatnica) and that worked well. I made them in my air fryer and accidentally had the temp too high (190C instead of 160C ‍♀️) so the top caught and formed a ‘skin’ but I was able to peel it off …. user error by me so I’ll lower the temp and cover with foil next time as I definitely making these again. Great recipe, thanks Katrin!
