Air fryer marzipan chocolate brownies
Brownies with a molten marzipan core and nutty top – ideal for entertaining or snacking on every time you pass through the kitchen. The way the air fryer works means you get a crackly top AND a gooey centre, so don’t be tempted to slice these before they’ve fully cooled. An air fryer can do more than air-fry – as these brownies prove. By using it as a mini oven for baking, anything that’s exposed to the hot air is caramelised and crisps up, but anything hidden away will gently cook in the residual heat. And that’s exactly what you want if you’re after a gooey brownie. Fill the kitchen with festive aromas with more Christmas baking recipes.

Method
Grease and line the cake tin with butter and baking paper so the paper hangs over the sides (or the air fryer itself – see ‘before you start’). Heat the air fryer to 120°C. Put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl/dish that will fit in your air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until melted and combined. Leave to cool.
Meanwhile, pinch off 1-2cm chunks of the marzipan and roll them into rough balls. Set aside.
Stir the sugar into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in the flour, followed by the eggs and a pinch of salt. Tip half the mixture into the prepared cake tin, then scatter over the marzipan balls. Cover with the remaining mixture and sprinkle over the almonds.
Heat the air fryer to 160°C and bake the brownies for 30-38 minutes or until set on top but with a slight wobble. The time will depend on the size of your cake tin – the smaller the tin (and therefore the deeper the brownie), the longer they will take to cook.
Put the air fryer drawer or tin onto a wire rack to cool. Once at room temperature, carefully lift out the brownie using the paper and cut into squares.

Can you please give “normal” oven temperatures and timings for your air fryer recipes. I don’t have an air fryer and have no intention of getting one but I love the look of a lot of these recipes.
This recipe can be cooked in a fan oven for 25 minutes at 180°C. Thank you for your feedback that you’d like to see conventional oven temperatures alongside air fryer instructions; this has been shared with the team.
