Craving a chocolatey treat without turning on the oven? Try this simple air fryer brownies recipe, an Italian twist on the classic American dessert.

Brownies in friggitrice ad aria

Are you craving a rich chocolate dessert but don’t want to turn on the oven? Prepare air fryer brownies, a practical variation of the classic American recipe characterized by a moist interior and a delightful crust on top.

Unlike traditional brownies, we’ve swapped hazelnuts for plenty of dark chocolate chips to satisfy even the sweetest tooth! The batter, made with butter, eggs, unsweetened cocoa, and flour, is very simple to make and results in a moist and compact texture ideal for cutting into squares.

Perfect for an inviting snack or as a dessert, perhaps served with a scoop of ice cream, air fryer brownies will soon be requested more often by family and friends!
