Air Fryer Baked Oats
These air fryer baked oats are one of those recipes I started making out of convenience… and then never stopped.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon melted butter or oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well and let the mixture sit for about 2 minutes so the oats can start absorbing the liquid
- Grease a small air fryer–safe baking dish (or individual ramekins if you want portions). Stir the melted butter or oil into the oat mixture, then pour everything into the dish.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Air fry for 12–15 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm as-is, or with yogurt, fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
