Air Fryer Pecan Brownies

These delicious rich and fudgy home made air fryer pecan brownies are enhanced with the nutty crunch of pecans. Thus creating a perfect balance of texture and scrummy flavour. By using an air fryer you can achieve that crispy exterior while keeping the brownie soft and gooey in the middle. Whether you are baking for a special occasion or just treating yourself, these brownies are so quick and incredibly easy to make. And are guaranteed to impress.

One of the most popular bakes is made even speedier by baking them in an air fryer. I like to add nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra flavour. But leave them out if you prefer the classic fudge brownie. Learn how to make these irresistible fudgy rich brownies in your air fryer in only thirty minutes. They are so easy to make from scratch.

PREP 10 minutes

COOK 30 to 35 minutes

MAKES 12 brownies

KIT you will need a microwave (or hob), an air fryer, two mixing bowls, baking paper and a 10 x 8 inch baking tray

Ingredients for air fryer pecan brownies

125g of dark chocolate, melted

125 of butter, melted

175g of caster sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon of baking powder

80g of plain flour

25g of cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

25g of crushed pecans

To serve (optional):

Vanilla ice cream, double cream or warm custard

Method

First, line your baking tray with the baking paper and set aside. Grab a mixing bowl then add your butter and brake the dark chocolate into the bowl. Using your microwave, set to a medium heat and cook on 40 second bursts, until the butter and chocolate are melted into a smooth consistency. Alternatively you can melt your butter and chocolate in a saucepan on the hob over a low heat if you prefer.

Next in a large mixing bowl add in your broken eggs, caster sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Then add in your melted chocolate and butter and fold in well. When everything has been folded together, add in your crushed pecans and fold again. Once you have a smooth brownie mixture, pour the ingredients into your baking tray and smooth over the top.

Place the baking tray into your air fryer drawer then set to 160c and cook for around 30 minutes. Or until the brownie is cooked throughout. Carefully remove the baking tray from the air fryer and leave your brownies to cool before cutting them into around twelve small squares.

I like to serve my chocolate pecan brownies warm with some vanilla ice cream, double cream or warm custard but they are also delicious on their own.
