Ingredients:
- 100 grams bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, divided (50 grams melted, 50 grams chopped)
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) melted butter
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (120 grams) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chocolate:
- Melt 50 grams of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Set aside. Chop the remaining 50 grams of chocolate and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the melted chocolate and chopped chocolate pieces.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line a 6x6 inch square pan with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Air Fry the Brownies:
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the foil-lined pan in the air fryer and cook for 30 minutes with the foil cover. Then, remove the foil and continue cooking at 170°C (338°F) for an additional 10 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the foil overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Enjoy these decadent fudge chocolate brownies, fresh from your air fryer, and share the joy with family and friends!
