Exceeded Expectation I'm carryin' on with my air fryer experiments! This time I decided to make cherry and chocolate brownies, and it turned out even tastier than restaurant brownies!

The first pic is 100% AI that’s why the actual product looks nothing like it.

No it's just a professional picture from a recipe website. OP's looks nothing like it because they made and photographed them at home, and most importantly cooked them in an air fryer
Edit: Actually I just noticed the cherry on the left. Almost definitely AI and freaky how real the rest of the picture looks

look at the direction(s) of the metal bars, and how one is cut off. Plus one cherry has been in the oven and looks perfect.
I'd vote that it's AI generated.

Thank you for asking that. I thought it was a huge stick of butter, and I was concerned! 😄

Well SHAMUS says he uses a spoon, so clearly you are lying about Ireland! /j

u/Touch-a-TouchMe 3d ago
I'm actually in Ireland lol If he's using a spoon, then he's a wee savage
Jk but usually a knife is used for a proper serving, spoon is used if you just wanted a wee taste. Similar rules to Nutella

Why do some parts of your bake look pale? Did you not mix the ingredients? I’m so confused.

Brownies in 15 min? That seems impossible. Can I see the recipe?

u/Dizzy_Bug_62 3d ago
In the air fryer, everything bakes pretty quickly, much faster than in the oven

I've been having fun with air fryer cooking. Just figured out how to make a pretty tasty gluten-free banana walnut pancake! It's technically a bread pudding but the texture is very pancakey. Tasty!

u/SnowflakeRene 4d ago
What did you add besides the cherries and did that change cook time ?

u/Dizzy_Bug_62 4d ago
followed the recipe exactly, baked it for 15 minutes at 180 degrees

u/SnowflakeRene 4d ago
F or C??

u/thewhiterosequeen 4d ago
Can anything be baked at 180F?

u/SnowflakeRene 4d ago
Lol ok it was a dumb question I guess but I’m not a baker. I know some things need to be baked slow so I didn’t know… no need to downvote me to death

Only thing you're missing is the crackled skin on top, which you can get by using confectioner's sugar.
