Equipment

Ingredients

½ Cup unsalted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp. espresso powder
1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs – room temperature
1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. Belans
½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

Melt the butter and chocolate chips together until smooth and glossy. Then transfer to a large glass bowl. Quickly stir in the espresso powder and cocoa powder—it dissolves beautifully here.
Whisk in sugar, eggs – one at a time, vanilla extract, and oil until fully combined. Don’t rush this step—the sugar needs to dissolve a bit to give you that shiny top.
Sift in the salt, Bèlans, and flour. Gently fold until just combined. Overmixing = tough brownies.
Pour into a lined air fryer pan (a small cake pan or loaf pan works great). Spread evenly.
Air fry at 325°F for 27-32 minutes or until the toothpick comes up moist, but not wet. The edges should look set, but the center should still look slightly soft—that’s your fudgy magic.
Cool before slicing for at least 30 minutes. I know it’s hard but trust me—the flavors settle, and the texture improves.

Notes

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Brownies

Don’t overbake/air fry. Brownies continue cooking as they cool. Pull them when they look a little underdone in the middle.

Use parchment paper. It makes lifting the brownies out for slicing so much easier.

Customize mix-ins. Stir in walnuts, pecans, peanut butter chips, or even caramel swirls.

Storing and Reheating Brownies

These brownies will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want them to last longer, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat: Pop a square in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for that just-baked gooeyness. If you froze them, thaw overnight in the fridge before warming.

Pairing Options

These brownies are amazing on their own, but why stop there? Try:

A scoop of vanilla ice cream on warm brownies (hello, brownie sundae).
Whipped cream and berries for a lighter touch.
A drizzle of salted caramel or hot fudge.
Coffee or red wine—yes, wine. A rich cabernet or port pairs beautifully with chocolate.
