How To Make Air Fryer Valentine’s Day Brownies
Making Air Fryer Valentine’s Day Brownies is a delightful and simple process:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Fold in the eggs and pure vanilla extract, mix well, and set aside. Add your dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder, and salt in another bowl. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix well. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spray your brownie or baking pan with cooking spray, then pour your batter into the prepared pan. Set the temperature to 330 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 15 to 20 minutes. Or until the edges start to brown.
Let the brownies cool, and then use a heart cookie cutter to cut out the heart brownies. Frost and decorate as desired.
Pro Tips:
- Always use quality ingredients when making brownies from scratch.
- One of the most important things to remember when cooking with brownies is never to overcook them. Once they start pulling away from one another and have a set appearance, it’s time for your tasty treat!
- I recommend letting brownies cool entirely so they are easier to cut. This will result in a firmer cake that won’t fall apart when you miss it and tastes better!
Mix-Ins:
While you do not need any mix-ins, some of my favorite ways to dress these up are by:
- Nuts, diced walnuts, or pecans
- M&M’s (Valentine’s Day)
- Peanut Butter Chips
- Butterscotch Chips
