Air Fryer Baked Oats
Baked oats with a crispy top made in the Air Fryer. Sweetened with banana and maple syrup, this is an easy breakfast recipe you’ll make on repeat.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk (any kind)
- 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Mix-ins:
- berries
- chocolate chips
- chopped nuts
- dried fruit
Toppings (add after baking):
- peanut butter cups
- chocolate chips
- nut butter drizzle
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Use an oven-safe bowl that fits inside your air fryer basket. Add the banana and mash until smooth.
- Add the egg and beat lightly into the banana. Stir in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
- Fold in any mix-ins you like - berries, nuts, or chocolate chips.
- Place the bowl in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (180°C) for 10 to 13 minutes, until the top is golden and set.
- Remove from the air fryer and add toppings while still warm. Allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve plain or with maple syrup and Greek yogurt.
Notes
- For two servings, split the batter between two small oven-safe containers and bake at the same time.
- Do not add chocolate chips or sweet toppings before baking - they will burn. Always add toppings after.
- The riper the banana, the sweeter the baked oats. Taste batter before baking and adjust maple syrup accordingly.
- For a smoother, cake-like texture, blend the batter before baking.
- Mix and refrigerate in the bowl the night before for an even faster morning routine.
