Tips to make Air Fryer Protein Fudge Brownie

This air fryer protein fudge brownie really is an easy one, but make sure you do all of this stuff to get is perfect.

Grease the ramekin!

Use room temperature egg whites and milk;
This is so the wet ingredients and dry ingredients can mix well.

Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, protein powder will make your protein brownie tough, dense and gummy.

Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter.

Take the brownie out when tester is still moist – it will continue to cook when out, and you want the proper fudge brownie center.
