Air-fried vegan brownies are delicious and one of the easiest baked recipes in vegan cooking.

These Fudgy brownies are perfect for those who crave something sweet but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen.

They're a healthier alternative to traditional brownies because they use less oil and no animal products.

I like it just for the fact that the baking time is so much more manageable with the air fryer compared to the traditional oven.

Ingredients

Wheat flour and almond flour: This is the base of our brownies and provides structure to the batter.
Cocoa powder: A staple in any chocolate dessert, unsweetened cocoa powder gives these brownies rich chocolate flavor.
Baking powder: These leavening agents help the brownies rise and become light and fluffy.
Brown sugar: You could use white or brown sugar.
Avocado oil or vegan butter: Adding a small amount of fat helps keep the brownies moist and fudgy. Using vegan butter or oil ensures that this recipe remains plant-based.
Non-dairy milk: This recipe can use any non-dairy milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
Vanilla extract: This adds a subtle but essential flavor to the brownies.
Vegan chocolate chips: I used dark chocolate chips in my recipe, but any vegan chocolate chips will work.
Flaxseed meal: This acts as a binding agent and replaces the eggs typically used in traditional brownie recipes.

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 350F (180C).

Combine wheat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix together the avocado oil or vegan butter, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, and flaxseed meal mixed with water.

Serving Suggestions

Pairings: These brownies are wonderful when served with a scoop of vegan ice cream, a dollop of coconut whipped cream, or fresh berries on the side.
Garnishes: Sprinkle some chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or a dusting of powdered sugar over the top of the brownies for added texture and flavor.
Drinks: Pair your brownies with a cup of coffee or chai tea, a glass of almond milk, or a chilled glass of oat milk for a refreshing complement.

Storage

Room Temperature: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Make sure they are completely cooled before storing to retain their fudgy texture.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep the brownies in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will help maintain their freshness.

Top Tips

To prepare flax eggs, mix the flaxseed meal with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to create a gel-like consistency. This will act as the binding agent in place of eggs.
Maple syrup is a great alternate if you do not prefer brown sugar.
Do not substitute avocado oil with coconut oil as it tends to introduce external flavors to the brownies.
Keep a small bowl of melted chocolate ready to drizzle on top of the brownies.
Do not overmix the batter once you add the wet ingredients, as this can result in a tougher texture.
Check your brownies periodically while cooking in the air fryer, as cooking times may vary depending on the model and size of the air fryer.
