Everyone knows that air fryers are super helpful, quick, and easy to make stuff in.
They are the perfect tool for when you are in a time crunch but still want your food to taste delicious.
Also, they’re great if you are too lazy and don’t feel like cleaning up the big mess you would have if you baked something in the oven.
Desserts can be very messy, especially if you are tired and don’t want to bake something after a long work day.
I put together some of my favorite 3-ingredient air fryer desserts that will totally satisfy your sweet tooth.
They taste like freshly made just out of the oven but save you lots of time and energy!
Here are my favorite delicious desserts made in the air fryer.
Air Fryer Recipes
Air Fryer Churros:
Churros are one of my favorite desserts. They originated in Mexico and consist of a bread-like dough that’s long and like a stick but covered in cinnamon and sugar.
They are a long process and take a lot of work to make; by making them in the air fryer, you will save so much time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Boil your water in a saucepan. Once the water has been brought to a boil, add your flour all at once.
Stir until it forms a dough. Let the dough cool, then transfer it into a piping bag with a start tip.
Pipe your dough onto a sheet of parchment paper in a churro shape, which is just a straight line.
Place your churros into the air-fryer basket, and make sure they are not touching so they don’t seep into each other.
Air fry for 12 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown.
Take them out of the air fryer and roll them into cinnamon sugar when they are warm so the sugar and cinnamon stick.
I like dipping my churros into the chocolate sauce I recommend. Enjoy these quick and easy churros that are so delicious!
Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Chocolate chip cookies are one of the most popular desserts. Why not try air fryer chocolate chip cookies?
These air fryer chocolate chip cookies are not only delicious but also healthy and good for you. They are also made with simple ingredients!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of almond flour (You can use any flour, but I prefer this)
- 1/2 cup of peanut butter (or any nut butter that’s just my preference)
- 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup
- Vanilla extract (not required, but optional for extra flavor)
Start by mixing together the honey and peanut butter in a big bowl.
Add your flour and mix it all together until the batter is smooth and there are no clumps to be seen.
Make sure to try your cookie dough because that is the best part!
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then scoop out your dough into balls about the size of a tablespoon and put them in your air fryer basket.
Of course, add some chocolate chips to the top because there are chocolate chip cookies. Then pop them in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes!
These are one of my favorite air-fryer recipes since they are quick, easy and healthy. Enjoy!
Brownies:
I don’t think you will ever go back to regular brownies once you try these air fryer brownies!
They are so delicious and truly chocolaty and are of course, quick and an easy recipe to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread that’s just my favorite)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then in a large mixing bowl mix together your Nutella and eggs. Mix until all combined and distributed.
Then add in your flour and mix until the batter is smooth and no clumps remain. Pour your batter into a greased baking dish that fits inside your air fryer.
Air fry these brownies for around 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let these cool before you cut them into squares and serve them. Let me know if you try this recipe and how you like it!
To store the churros, air fryer cookies and air fryer brownies I would recommend putting them into an airtight container and they should stay good for up to a week!
