Sugar Sugar

Preparation method

20 min.
  • 1
    Mix dry ingredients

    In a bowl or divided directly into your mugs, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.

  • 2
    Add wet ingredients

    Add the milk, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix the batter thoroughly until it is smooth.

  • 3
    Divide the batter

    Evenly distribute the batter into four mugs. Be sure to fill them only halfway to avoid any overflow during cooking.

  • 4
    Add chocolate chips

    Sprinkle chocolate chips on top or mix them into each mug if you want extra chocolatey goodness.

  • 5
    Preheat air fryer

    Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes.

  • 6
    Cook in batches

    Place one or two mugs in the basket at a time, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 8 minutes for a fudgy texture or up to 10 minutes for a more cake-like consistency.

  • 7
    Cool slightly

    Let each mug rest for 2–3 minutes before serving to allow the brownie to set.

  • 8
    Tips

    Avoid overcrowding the air fryer to ensure proper air circulation, and rotate the mugs halfway through if your unit heats unevenly. For a molten effect, add a square of chocolate or Nutella to the center, and serve topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
