minutesIngredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- For oven-baked brownies:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk again until smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the brownies tough.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top of the batter with a spatula.
- Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Do not overbake the brownies, as this can make them dry.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For air fryer brownies:
- Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk again until smooth.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the brownies tough.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, and pour the batter into a greased 7-inch round cake pan that fits in your air fryer. Smooth out the top of the batter with a spatula.
- Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the brownies from the air fryer and allow them to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies in both the oven and air fryer. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time, and remove them as soon as a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Make sure your air fryer basket is large enough to fit a 7-inch round cake pan before attempting to make the air fryer version of this recipe.
- You can customize the level of sweetness in the brownies by adjusting the amount of sugar used in the recipe. If you prefer your brownies less sweet, try reducing the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips in this recipe, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate, for a different flavor profile.
- To make these brownies even more indulgent, you can add chopped nuts or swirl in some caramel or peanut butter before baking.
Once the brownies are cool, cut them into squares or slices and serve. You can dust them with powdered sugar or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of decadence.
