Air Fryer Chocolate Nutella Brownies
Description
Rich, fudgy air fryer Nutella brownies with a crackly top and melty chocolate pockets — made in one small pan, no oven required.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1¾ sticks butter, ¾ cup + 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ⅓ cup Nutella
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounces baking chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Prep. Grease a 6- to 7-inch pan or line it with parchment paper; set aside.
- Mix. Beat eggs and sugar with a hand mixer on medium-high for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Sift in cocoa powder, flour, and salt; mix to combine. Add melted butter, Nutella, and vanilla; mix until smooth. Gently fold in the chopped chocolate. Do not overmix.
- Air fry. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F for 10–12 minutes, until the top is puffed and set with a slightly jiggly center. For a firmer center, cook 3–5 minutes more.
- Cool and serve. Cool in the pan until set, then slice into 8 squares. Serve with ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Equipment
- 6- to 7-inch round or square baking pan (or small cast-iron skillet),
- Hand Mixer
- Parchment Paper
- Cooking Spray
Notes
- Pan size matters: the pan must leave at least ½ inch of airflow around it in the basket.
- Doneness: a toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Make it gluten-free: use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Storage: airtight at room temperature 3–4 days, refrigerated up to 1 week, or frozen 2–3 months.
