Express chocolate brownie in the air fryer

Instructions

  • 1.Melt the chocolate and butter

    Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or microwave, then mix until smooth.

  • 2.Mix the batter

    Add the sugar and whisk.
    Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then add the flour and salt.
    Mix just enough to get a smooth batter.
    Add the nuts if desired.

  • 3.Pour into the mold

    Line a small square or round mold (air fryer compatible) with parchment paper.
    Pour in the batter.

    💡 **Tip**: For this step, we recommend this product Perforated parchment paper which will make the job easier!

  • 4.Air fryer cooking

    Place the mold in the air fryer basket and cook 18-20 minutes at 160°C.
    Check with a knife tip: it should come out slightly moist for a fudgy brownie.

  • 5.Cool & enjoy

    Let cool slightly before unmolding and cutting into squares.
    Enjoy plain, with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.

Tips from Atelier Airfryer

Tips for success

Use a mold that fits your air fryer basket.
Don't overmix the batter after adding the flour to keep the brownie moist.
Check cooking to your preference: 18 min for a very fudgy brownie, 20 min for a firmer texture.

Gourmet variations

Add white or milk chocolate chips for a marbled brownie.
Incorporate a spoonful of peanut butter or Nutella in the center for a gooey heart.
You can also replace the walnuts with almonds or hazelnuts.
