Air fryer hot cross bun brownie

Method

1. 1

   Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water, or in the microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth. Leave to cool for a few minutes. Line a 20cm square (or other cake tin that fits in the air fryer) with baking parchment.

2. 2

   Heat the air fryer to 180C. Tear the hot cross bun into small chunks then tip into the air fryer basket and cook for 3-4 mins until crunchy and golden. Tip into a bowl and lower the air fryer temperature to 160C.

3. 3

   Whisk together the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl using electric beaters until thick and creamy. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder, then pour in the melted chocolate mixture. Using a spatula gently fold until evenly mixed, then stir in the hot cross buns, chopped chocolate and marzipan, if using.

4. 4

   Pour into the prepared tin and air fry for 25-30 mins until set but with a gentle wobble in the centre. Leave to cool completely before cutting into 9 or 12 rectangles.
