Description
These incredibly easy fudgy brownies need just two ingredients – chocolate cake mix and pumpkin puree – and bake in your air fryer in under 15 minutes with no oil, butter, or eggs required!
Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips
Optional: ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt
Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Line an air fryer-compatible baking dish with parchment paper. Typically a 7-8 inch round or square pan works well.
Preheat your air fryer to 310°F (155°C) for about 3 minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry cake mix and pumpkin puree. Stir until well combined. The batter will be very thick and almost paste-like. Keep mixing until no dry pockets remain.
If using, fold in chocolate chips or other optional add-ins.
Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and spread evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in your air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes. The brownies are done when the top looks set but still slightly soft in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares
Notes
If you can’t find pumpkin puree, sweet potato puree works as a perfect substitute.
For extra fudgy brownies, underbake slightly (aim for the 12-minute mark) and refrigerate after cooling.
These brownies stay moist for days in an airtight container and actually get fudgier over time.
You cannot taste the pumpkin at all – it only contributes to the moist, fudgy texture.
These brownies freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly to serve.
