Air Fryer Brownies Time & Temp Guide (Chewy, Fudgy, Fast)

By Airfryer Conversion Chart Culinary Team • Reviewed on 2025-08-20

Air fryer brownies are chewy, fudgy, and quick to bake — without heating the oven.

In tests with the Ninja AF101, Cosori Pro II, and Instant Vortex Plus, the best results came at 320°F (160°C) for 18–22 minutes in a standard pan. For gooey centers, aim for the lower end of the range.

Ramekins work well for individual servings — cook 12–14 minutes at 320°F. For boxed brownie mixes, follow the same adjustments.

Pro tip: For even cooking, line the basket pan with parchment and avoid overfilling. Let brownies cool 10 minutes before slicing for neat edges.

Frozen Instructions

Cook directly from frozen portions by adding 4–5 minutes at 300°F.

Sauce Cautions

• Chocolate chips may scorch if sprinkled on top early — add halfway.

Visual Doneness

• Edges firm with slight pull-away.
• Center glossy but set (toothpick with a few crumbs).

Troubleshooting

• Too dry? Reduce temp by 10°F or cook 2 minutes less.
• Undercooked? Add 2–3 more minutes until edges firm.
• Overly crispy top? Tent with foil for the last 5 minutes.

Leftovers

Store 3–4 days at room temp in airtight container, or freeze for 2 months. Reheat 20 sec in microwave.
