Description

Rich, fudgy, eggless and dairy-free brownies made entirely in the air fryer. A simple flax egg binds the batter for a moist, gooey center and a delicate crackly top — ready in under 40 minutes, no oven needed.

Ingredients 

For the flax egg

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 3 tablespoons water

For the brownies

  • ½ cup vegan butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Make the flax egg. Stir the ground flaxseed into the 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit 5 minutes until thickened and gel-like.
  • Preheat. Preheat the air fryer to 330°F (165°C) for 3–5 minutes. Line a 6-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Combine. Add the melted vegan butter, the flax egg, and the vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Air fry. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 330°F for 15–18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool and serve. Let cool in the pan at least 15 minutes before lifting out and slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 6-inch round or square baking pan (fits inside the basket)
  • Parchment Paper, optional
  • Mixing Bowls

Notes

  • Don't overbake — a clean toothpick means dry brownies. Aim for a few moist crumbs.
  • Pan size matters: leave at least ½ inch of airflow around the pan inside the basket.
  • Storage: airtight at room temp up to 3 days, fridge up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Gluten-free: use a 1:1 GF flour blend with xanthan gum.
