Why this recipe works
Juicy chocolate brownies in small baking pan
Brownies should not be completely dry when taken out: they cook in the hot baking pan for a few minutes. This recipe is calculated for a square or round metal baking pan, which is about 18 cm in size. A smaller baking pan produces a higher dough and requires extra time.

Tips for Air Fryer Brownies
Wet crumbs are right
A completely clean stick usually means that the centre is already too dry at Brownies. Liquid dough, however, must not adhere.
Let it cook in the baking pan
Immediately after baking, the middle is soft. During the rest period, it stabilizes and can be cut cleanly later.
