Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup (45g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg (room temperature preferred)
• 1/4 cup (25g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
• 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup (45g) extra chocolate chips (optional mix-in)

Instructions:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter.
• Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
• Add sugar, vanilla extract, and egg to the melted chocolate mixture.
• Whisk until smooth and well combined.
• Sift in cocoa powder and add flour and salt.
• Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix).
• Stir in extra chocolate chips, nuts, or any desired mix-ins.
• Grease a 6-inch cake pan with butter.
• Line with parchment paper and grease again.
• Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
• Preheat air fryer to 330°F (165°C).
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
• Let the brownies cool completely before removing them from the pan.
• Slice and enjoy! (For extra indulgence, serve with ice cream.)

These brownies are crispy on the outside, fudgy in the center, and packed with chocolatey goodness!
