Ninja Foodi Brownies Recipe

Simple Ninja Foodi Brownies recipe with homemade or boxed Ghirardelli mix and a few simple ingredients you can make either pressure cooker or air fryer brownies in no time at all!

We love eating desserts in our house and are always looking for fun and new ways to cook them. I was so pumped to try this dessert in this air fryer and pressure cooker machine. Not only did it cook them to perfection but seriously knocked it out of the park. Just one of our Ninja Foodi recipes here. (affiliate links present)

Ninja Foodi Brownies with Brownie Mix Recipe

If you’re new to the Ninja Foodi, you may be wondering what it is. We will help you along the way with this one. There are actually two ways to make these. One will focus on how to make pressure cooker brownies using that function. You’ll use the lid that isn’t connected for this.

We have a lot of resources here on our site for you. You can find a tab at the top that has all of them and bookmarking it on your computer will help you find it easily. You can also join our Facebook too for more recipe ideas and to share yours with others.

Ingredients

• 1 box of brownie mix + plus whatever is listed on the box as needed ingredients to make the batter
• Egg mold – if you’re making bite size brownies using the pressure cooker function
• 7″ springform pan – if you’re making a larger one using the air fryer function

Equipment Needed

The egg mold is great to use for all sorts of creations. We share how to use that as well as a springform pan below. The texture is fudgy, ooey gooey and almost like a flourless cakey consistency that we love as it steams instead of bakes thru!

We will share 2 methods with you here. If you like a bit of a crisp on the outside and edges then I would use the air crisp method presented below and featured in photos here. However if ooey gooey and moist is what you want then I would use the lid that is not attached and that function instead.

I know for a fact that desserts definitely bring people together, so it’s not hard at all to create this dessert recipe and know that I won’t have any shortage of taste testers just waiting to take a bite. But, there are plenty of ways that you can share your air fryer recipes with your family and friends at parties and potlucks.

What you are going to need to get going on this depends on the shape and size you want. If you want bite size then use the egg mold or the bundt you see at the bottom for a larger size. Cook time will be longer for the larger version of course.

Decide which method you want to follow, air fryer boxed brownies will give the outside a crispness on the edges while the other makes them more ooey gooey. Air crisp lid is the one attached while pressure cooking requires the one that isn’t.

in Pressure Cooker

I do have a quick rundown here but there is a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post as well.

in an Egg Mold

• Make brownies as directed on the box. Spray inside of egg mold holes with non stick spray. Fill each hole 3/4 of the way full with batter.
• Cover mold with foil. Pour 1.5 c water into your Ninja foodi pot and put a trivet in the center of your pot.
• Put egg mold on trivet and close your pressure cooker lid (one that isn’t attached), close steam valve too.
• Turn pot on, press pressure, high temp. for 20 minutes to 22 min. depending on how gooey you want them.
• Allow to naturally release steam completely. Lift egg mold out and remove foil.
• Pop out brownie bites! This will make about 3 sets of brownie bites, just wash mold and refill.

Air Fryer

in mini Bundt Pan

• You would use a 7″ bundt pan for brownies for this one
• Make brownies as directed on the box. Spray the inside of your springform pan and pour your batter inside. 
• Place on a trivet with handles (so you can lift it out) or make a foil sling. 
• Close air fryer lid, turn pot on, press air crisp, 325 degrees for 15 minutes.
• Adjust temperature to 300 immediately once timer goes off and set to 15 more minutes. (alternatively you can set for 30 minutes and after 15 minutes adjust temp down to 300 degrees so it doesn’t burn.
• Cool on cooling rack before loosening sides of pan and flipping onto a plate

There are gluten free mixes out there I have seen if that is a need. I haven’t tried them in any sort of way but I would assume that the timing would remain the same for those as well. It’s seriously as simple as that. What are some fun toppings for your air fryer brownies? Let’s talk about all of those options below too.

Toppings are one of the best parts of this recipe! While everyone is different, here are some simple toppings ideas for your Ninja Foodi brownies: And seriously, the list can go on and on. Anything that you want as a topping, make it happen.

• whipped cream
• nuts
• maraschino cherries
• mini m&m’s or chocolate chips
• hot fudge on top of ice cream
• caramel or a bit of peanut butter (melted)
