Whisk melted butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
Fold in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour into a greased pan that fits your air fryer (6-inch round or 7-inch square).
Air fry at 325°F for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Cool 10 minutes in the pan before cutting. Top with powdered sugar, ice cream, or flaky salt.
Tip: Moist crumbs on the toothpick means perfect fudgy brownies. Clean toothpick means overbaked. Low and slow is the key — high heat dries them out. Let them cool fully for clean cuts.
