Instructions

Step 1

Heat air fryer to 370°F.

Step 2

Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan.

Step 3

Combine chocolate chips and butter in a large heatproof bowl and place the bowl over simmering water to gently melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth.

Step 4

Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, yolks, vanilla, and salt until well combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

Step 7

Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined; add the flour mixture and gently whisk until the batter is smooth.

Step 8

Divide half of the batter among six prepared 6-ounce ramekins.

Step 9

In a second small bowl, stir together peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar until combined.

Step 10

Scoop 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each half-filled ramekin.

Step 11

Cover with the remaining chocolate batter, dividing it among the ramekins.

Step 12

Place ramekins in the air-fryer basket and air-fry until cakes have puffed and are set, about 8 minutes.

Step 13

Carefully remove the ramekins and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 14

Loosen the edges of the cakes and carefully invert them onto plates to serve.

Pro Tips

#1

Working in batches is highly recommended for even cooking.

#2

Ensure the bowl of chocolate and butter is placed over, not in, the simmering water to prevent overheating.

#3

Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs to avoid scrambling them.

#4

Dusting the ramekins with sugar helps the cakes release easily after baking.
