How to Prepare Air Fryer Brownies for Two

Making air fryer brownies for two is a breeze! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious, fudgy treat ready in no time. Let’s dive in!

Mixing the Dry Ingredients

First things first, grab a medium-sized bowl and toss in your dry ingredients: 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Now, using a whisk or a fork, mix everything together until it’s combined and there are no lumps. This is a crucial step because it ensures your brownies have a smooth texture without any floury surprises!

Adding Wet Ingredients

Now it’s time to bring the wet ingredients into the mix! Pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract for that heavenly flavor. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to stir everything together until it’s well combined. You want the batter to be smooth and glossy, so don’t hold back on mixing – it’s where the magic happens!

Incorporating Chocolate Chips

Oh, and here comes my favorite part – chocolate chips! Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into your batter. Just be careful not to overmix; you want them to be evenly distributed without breaking them apart. Trust me, those little bursts of chocolate in every bite are what make these brownies irresistible!

Preparing for Air Frying

Next up, let’s get your batter ready to cook. Take a small baking dish and grease it lightly with some oil or non-stick spray. Pour the brownie batter into the dish, spreading it evenly. Now, carefully place the dish in your air fryer basket. It’s like tucking your brownies in for a cozy nap!

Cooking Instructions

Set your air fryer to 320°F and let those brownies cook for about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through, I recommend checking them just to make sure they’re rising beautifully. When you’re nearing the end, do the toothpick test: poke a toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), they’re done! Let them cool for a bit before diving in. You’ll be amazed at how quick and easy it is to whip up these delightful brownies for two!

Tips for Success

Now that you’re ready to make your air fryer brownies for two, here are some tips to ensure they come out perfectly every time! First, keep an eye on your brownies as they cook. Every air fryer is a little different, so you might need to adjust the cooking time based on your model. If you prefer a fudgier brownie, check for doneness around the 10-minute mark, while a firmer texture might require the full 12 minutes.

Also, remember to let your brownies cool for a few minutes after cooking; this helps them set up beautifully and makes slicing easier. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for an extra depth of chocolate flavor. And don’t forget, you can always top them with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a decadent treat! Trust me, these little tweaks will elevate your brownies to the next level!

Storage & Reheating Instructions

Once you’ve devoured your delicious air fryer brownies for two, you might just have some leftovers (or maybe not, who am I kidding?). If you do, let them cool completely before storing. Pop them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They’ll stay fresh at room temperature for about 2-3 days, or you can keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to warm them up. If you prefer them a bit crispy, throw them back in the air fryer at 320°F for a couple of minutes. Enjoy the fudgy goodness all over again!
