Air Fryer Chocolate Brownies: A New Way to Bake Brownies
Imagine melting dark chocolate and butter in a bowl, with a quick 2-minute microwave dance. Whisking in eggs and blending with brown and caster sugar for that perfect sweet note. Introducing self-raising flour and cocoa to the mix until you’ve got that lush, rich batter. Pouring this goodness into a lined 20cm x 20cm square baking tray, sliding it into your air fryer, and baking at 160°C for 20 minutes. The result? An inside that’s irresistibly fudgey and delicious! Patience is the secret ingredient here! 😇 Cool right down before you slice, and get ready to be wowed!
Air Fryer Chocolate Brownies Tips and Tricks
- Quality Chocolate: Use the best quality dark chocolate you can find. It makes a huge difference in the flavour.
- Room Temperature Eggs: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend more smoothly with the batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the flour and cocoa, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies, and we want them fudgy!
- Check Doneness: Air fryers can vary, so start checking your brownies at the 18-minute mark. Insert a toothpick in the centre—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, you’re good to go!

Frequently Asked Questions
For the best results, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. This gives the brownies a rich, deep chocolate flavour. Milk chocolate can be too sweet and may not provide the same fudgy texture.
If your brownies are undercooked in the middle, you can put them back in the air fryer for a few more minutes. Check every 2-3 minutes to avoid overcooking. Remember, air fryers can vary, so keep an eye on them to achieve the perfect texture.
Store your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want them to last longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For the ultimate fudgy experience, warm them slightly in the microwave before serving.
