FAQ & Tips 

  • Can I bake these in a regular oven?
    Yes! Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 15–18 minutes.
  • Pan options:
    6-inch round/square pan works best.
    You can use a loaf pan if that fits in your air fryer.
  • Want extra fudgy brownies?
    Don’t overmix. And don’t overbake.
    The center should look slightly underdone when you take it out — it sets while cooling.
  • Storing:
    Store in an airtight container for 3 days.
    Warm in microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
