Air Fryer Brownies

Mmm.

Brownies.

Quick. Easy. Vegan.

You know one of the best things about a vegan brownie?

The ability to lick the bowl.

Another best part about this brownie?

I went from measuring ingredients into a bowl to biting into a rich fudgy brownie in about 20 minutes.

Because these are small batch brownies. air fryer brownies!

Air Fryer Desserts

Yes, you can make desserts in your air fryer!

This genius concoction comes from Kathy Hester’s latest book, Vegan Cooking in Your Air Fryer: 75 Incredible Comfort Food Recipes with Half the Calories. and I have had my air fryer long enough that I can confidently add “and in Half the Time” to that title!

More than a cookbook, this is a how to of air frying. Kathy includes dos and don’ts, ways to cook different foods (think: battered foods! frozen foods!) and using baking dishes inside your air fryer. Don’t have an air fryer yet? The How Do I Pick The Right Air Fryer For Me section is for you!

When you think of an air fryer, do you think of French fries and maybe tofu? Convenience foods from the frozen section? These are GREAT uses for the air fryer, but that’s not all! The recipe ideas are endless.

(Do I sound like a late night infomercial yet?)

Gluten Free Brownies

I also kept these small batch brownies gluten free, using good ol’ Bob’s Gluten Free All Purpose Flour. Still resulted in gooey chewy brownies we all know and love.

One more note! As Kathy states in the instructions, all air fryers are different, as are pan sizes. I did not need the whole 20 minutes – mine were fully cooked in one of these pans in about 15 minutes.

And – that pan is the perfect size for these Salty Pistachio Small Batch Brownies – when you have the dry ingredients sifted together in a bowl, it looks like a lot. Once you add the liquid / wet ingredients? The volume of batter totally shrinks down – ha!

This recipe is a foolproof plan for supremely tasty brownies in short order. And if you don’t yet have an air fryer? With a bit more cooking time (and have a toothpick handy for testing), I bet these turn out just as great in the oven…

…a nice crispy top with a rich, slightly gooey chewy center.

perfection in 20 minutes!
