Cooking tips:
- Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Especially the Nutella and eggs.
- Spray your spoon or spatula with cooking spray or oil before scooping out the Nutella so it will not stick.
- For the toothpick test, insert the toothpick into the center of the brownies. If it comes out with a few crumbs and a bit of moisture, that is perfect. It will continue to cook in the pan after removal.
- Because different air fryers take longer than others, remember the time it took to cook these, so you know how long to cook them next time.
- Also, remember that these brownies cook faster in a metal pan than a glass baking dish.
