Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
- Grab a big bowl. Pour in the brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water. Stir until everything is combined. My kids like to sneak a taste now, but try not to eat it all.
Step 2
- Add the mint extract. Smell it and take a deep breath because it smells amazing.
Step 3
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Some might stick to your spoon. Taste one if you must.
Step 4
- Spray a small air fryer pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour in the batter. Smooth the top a little if you want even brownies.
Step 5
- Place the pan in the air fryer. Set it to 330 degrees F and bake for 14 to 16 minutes. Check the middle with a toothpick. It should be soft but not liquidy.
Step 6
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top. Let the brownies cool for a few minutes before cutting.
Notes
Tips
- Use silicone air fryer pans to avoid sticking.
- Batter can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge for a few hours.
- Air fryer ovens vary, so check the brownies a little early.
- Mint extract is strong. One teaspoon is usually enough.
Variations
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunch.
- Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup on top for extra sweetness.
- Make mini brownies using muffin cups in the air fryer.
- Try peppermint extract with white chocolate chips for a different minty vibe.
