Step One: Prepare
Grease your baking pan or cast-iron skillet, and set aside. You can also line it with parchment paper.
Step Two: Mix Your Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat your eggs and granulated sugar, until light and fluffy, with a hand mixer, on medium-high, for about 2-3 minutes. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt, and mix into the sugar mixture. Add the butter, Nutella, and vanilla, and mix well. Then gently fold in the chocolate.
Step Three: Air Fry
Slowly pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Set the pan into the air fryer basket, and set the air fryer cooking temperature to 320 degrees F using the air fryer setting and set the cooking time for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is puff and still a little wiggly in the center. For a firm center, bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Step Four: Serving
Serv with ice cream or drizzle with chocolate sauce.
Pro Tips For The Best Nutella Air Fryer Brownies
Here are some pro tips for making the best Nutella air fryer brownies:
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow your butter and eggs to come to room temperature before starting the recipe. This will ensure they mix more easily and result in a smoother batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can produce tough and dry brownies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop stirring.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the bottom.
- Use the Right Size Pan: Make sure your pan fits comfortably in your air fryer basket. Using a too-large pan will prevent the brownies from cooking evenly.
- Check for Doneness: Since all air fryers cook differently, it’s important to check the brownies for doneness periodically. Insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies, and if it comes out clean, they are done.
- Let Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
Following these pro tips, you can make delicious and perfectly cooked Nutella air fryer brownies every time.

- With Nutella Drizzle: Drizzle some additional Nutella over the top of the brownies for an extra dose of chocolate hazelnut flavor.
- With Nuts: Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or other nuts on top of the brownies for a crunchy and nutty texture.

So this recipe makes 1 serving? What size pan is used?
Vicki J.
Correction, it makes 8 servings. Must be a larger pan of some size. But has to fit into air fryer.
