A nice crispy top with a thick and chewy chocolaty center. Baking in the air fryer is quicker than making them in the oven and it’s a great way to avoid heating up your kitchen this summer.
BROWNIE INGREDIENTS
The key ingredient in this recipe is your favorite boxed brownie mix. Nothing fancy, just a plain box of brownie mix, such as Betty Crocker, Pillsbury or even store brands. Once you’ve mastered making them in the air fryer you can try tweaking the recipe by adding your favorite ingredients.
HOW TO MAKE BROWNIES IN THE AIR FRYER
Update: This post has been restyled to make it easier to read. Enjoy!
RECIPE VARIATIONS
Brownies are amazing all by themselves, but if you want to kick them up a notch here are some delicious suggestions:
There are so many things that you can add or top the brownies with: nuts, chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, peanut butter, cream cheese, just to name a few. However, my favorite and it works perfectly with this air fryer recipe, is to put a double stuffed Oreo in the bottom of the baking cup before adding the batter.

STORAGE & REHEATING TIPS
Store brownies in an air-tight container, at room temperature for up to 2 days. I find that the Tupperware Snack-Stor large container is the perfect size for storing muffins and cupcakes.
Freeze: Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months if they are well wrapped and stored in freezer bags.
Simple Air Fryer Boxed Brownies
A nice crispy top with a thick and chewy chocolaty center. An air fryer, a bowl and your favorite boxed brownie mix is about all that you need for this quick treat.
- 1 box brownie mix
- Lightly spray silicone baking cups with cooking spray.
- Prepare brownies according to package directions.
- Fill cups 2/3 of the way, which is about 3 tablespoons.
- Place baking cups in air fryer basket without overcrowding. The air needs to be able to easily flow around the whole cup so that they cook evenly.
- Cook at 350°F for 15 minutes. Insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean they’re done. If it doesn’t, continue cooking in 3 minute intervals until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool on a cooling.

Can I use paper cupcake baking cups?
I wouldn’t suggest it, they might catch on fire.

Wonder if the “sugarfree” brownies can be cooked this way?? Will be giving it a try, Gracias!
I’ve never tried it, but I’m sure they’d be fine. Let me know if you give it a try.
Can I cook them in a glass dish in the air fryer?
I’m sure you could, but you may have to adjust the time and temperature.
Thank you! Kids have been wanting a treat but have been avoiding baking with it so hot in Florida. This was perfect. Middle of the afternoon and my kitchen didn’t have to go way up in temp. Kids loved them.
