Pro Tips:

  • Use room temperature eggs, butter, and water.
  • Be sure to spray your brownie pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper, so the cooked brownies easily come out of the pan.
  • You can add any add-ins you want; some of my favorite are listed below.
  • Since every air fryer is slightly different, I would watch your brownies, so they cook.
  • For best results and brownies to be cooked fully, you will need to use a THIN brownie pan. I listed several options below.
  • As soon as the center is set, remove the brownies from the air fryer; they will harden up as they cool.

What Are Some Good Add-Ins?

This is a great base brownie recipe, and I usually do add some stuff to the recipe. Some of my favorites are:

  • Nuts: Add about a cup of diced pecans, peanuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc.
  • Chips: Add some mini chocolate chips, mini white chocolate chips, even peanut butter chips.
  • Candy: Add some M&Ms, Reeses, diced Snickers, etc.
  • Dried Fruit: Add some dried cranberries or raisins.
  • Shredded Coconut

What Is The Best Way To Serve Brownies?

I love serving these while they are warmed. With the addition of the frosting, you will have to wait for a bit to frost them.

But there is nothing better than a warm brownie with a cup of hot chocolate, coffee, or cold milk.

How To Store Brownies

I promise that you will not have these around your house long, but let them cool to room temperature if you have any leftovers.

Then cover the brownies with saran wrap or aluminum foil. They will stay good at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

How To Freeze Brownies

This is a great brownie recipe to freeze, although I would wait to frost them until after you thaw them.

To freeze, let them cool to room temperature, cut them into pieces, and wrap them securely in saran wrap a couple of times and then in foil. Place them into a freezer bag. They will last for 1 to 2 months.

To use from frozen, let them thaw on the counter or in the refrigerator.

What Brownie Pans Are Good For Air Fryer?

My best recommendations for brownie pans are thin ones. Otherwise, the center may not get fully cooked.
