How To Make Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Squares

Step One: Start by creaming together the eggs, vegetable oil and white sugar. I find if I do this step, I get a fluffier cake. Mix in the pumpkin puree.

Step Two: Then mix in the flour, and spices, baking powder and baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Make sure to scrape the sides, after you mix. Spray your air fryer safe pan with either olive oil spray or non-stick cooking spray.

Step Three: Pour your batter into the prepared pan, and then place it into the air fryer. Set the temperature to 320 degrees F, set cook time for 12-15 minutes.

Air Fryer Pumpkin Pie Squares Recipe Tips

• This recipe can be prepared in any Air Fryer, whether basket or oven model. I have also cooked these in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crips Lid and the Mealthy Lid. The recipe will remain the same, the cooking time will vary. 
• Use pumpkin puree, rather than pumpkin pie filling, as pumpkin pie filling is sweetened and already has spices in it. 
• Do not over mix, otherwise you will end up with a dense batch of pumpkin squares. 
• Use a thinner pan, this way the entire cake will cook up. A thick pan will not fully cook into the center. See my recommendations below. 
• Let the pumpkin pie squares cool down completely before frosting them. 
• You can either serve these warm or at room temperature.
