Description
Air Fryer Baked Oats are a moist, fluffy, and cake-like healthy breakfast made with oats, banana, and egg, ready in just 15 minutes with customizable mix-ins.
Ingredients
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1 large egg
½ large overripe banana
3 tablespoons almond milk or oat milk (vanilla unsweetened recommended)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional sweetener: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Optional flavor boosters: 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, blueberries, banana slices, sprinkles, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 290°F (145°C). Grease a single-serve ramekin or baking dish.
- Blend oats, egg, banana, milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional nut butter in a blender for 20–30 seconds until smooth.
- Remove from blender and fold in desired mix-ins gently.
- Pour batter into ramekin. Top with extra mix-ins if desired.
- Air fry at 290°F for 12–15 minutes, checking at 7 minutes and covering with foil if browning too quickly.
- Check for doneness; oats should be cooked through and slightly browned on top.
Notes
Use rolled oats; quick oats are acceptable, avoid steel-cut oats.
Any milk (dairy or plant-based) works.
Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 4 days.
Reheat in air fryer, oven, or microwave as preferred.
