Can I Use This Recipe For Gluten Free Brownie Mix

You are more than welcome to reach for a gluten-free mix if that is what you need. Also, you could even do a vegan style brownie. Just know that it might need to alter the cooking time for the brownie mix.

Pro Tips:

• Use room temperature eggs, they make for a lighter brownie.
• Check on your brownies frequently, the thicker the brownie, the longer it will take to cook, in the air fryer.
• Did you know that the pan that you use, makes a difference in the cooking time? Metal pans cook faster, while glass dishes take longer. I always recommend investing in a good brownie pan (metal) it will save you lots of time air frying.
• Use parchment paper (or aluminum foil) on the bottom of your pan, it makes it easier to cut, and remove from the pan.
• The right pan is ESSENTIAL for baking, it has to be the right depth.
• Brownies continue to cook after you take them out of the air fryer. If you insert a knife and it comes out with a FEW crumbs, they are done.

Variations:

Here are some easy ways to jazz up your boxed mix.

1. Add some nuts, whether walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cocoa nibs, etc.
2. Add some chocolate chips to the batter.
3. Mix in some candy bar pieces. My kid’s favorites are Snickers, Kit-Kats, and even M&MS.
4. Add some sea salt on top.
5. Add some chocolate drizzle on top, this is one of my family’s favorite.

Sometimes mixing in some easy and quick toppings can totally transform your brownies to a whole new level. Give it a try, or do half one way and the other half-naked.

How To Serve:

• Ice Cream | Nothing is sweeter than a warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. You could even go on the edge and do a peppermint or pecan style ice cream as well.
• Whipped Cream | A dollop of homemade whipped cream is one of my favorites. Add a cherry on top and dive in fork first.
• Drizzle With Sauce | Melt up some hot fudge, caramel, or even butterscotch and drizzle over the top of your brownies.
• Powdered Sugar | Nothing beats a little dusting of powdered sugar on brownies.
