Steps for making brownies in the air fryer

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until a smooth, uniform batter forms. A manual whisk works fine, but any electric mixer can speed things up.

• Fill the molds in sequence, leaving about half a centimeter of headspace at the top to prevent overflow.

• If you sprinkle sugar on top, you’ll get that crackly, sugary crust that muffin lovers crave.

• Preheat the air fryer to 160°C for roughly 3–4 minutes.

• Place the molds in the basket and set the timer for 16 minutes at 160°C.

• Check doneness with a toothpick. Depending on the model, you may need a minute more or less. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re ready.

• Carefully remove the molds and let the brownies cool at room temperature. Cooling helps them finish setting and makes them easier to slice.

• They’ll stay fresh for several hours after cooling, and leftovers can be saved for later enjoyment.

Other treats that work well in the air fryer include brownies, cheesecakes, chocolate chip cookies, and even bread.
