Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Strawberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal

Here are the simple ingredients, you will need:

• Old-Fashioned Oats: Use old-fashioned oats for a hearty and chewy texture that holds up well during cooking.
• Heavy Cream: Heavy cream adds a rich, creamy texture and a luscious flavor to your oatmeal.
• Light Brown Sugar: Light brown sugar sweetens the oatmeal and adds a subtle hint of caramel flavor.
• Baking Powder: Baking powder helps the oatmeal rise slightly, creating a fluffier texture.
• Ground Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds warmth and a touch of spice to complement the strawberries.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
• Butter: Butter adds a rich, buttery taste and a smooth texture to the oatmeal.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract infuses the oatmeal with a sweet, aromatic flavor.
• Egg: The egg binds the ingredients together and helps create a cohesive, custard-like texture.
• Strawberries: Fresh or frozen strawberries provide a burst of fruity sweetness and a vibrant color.

How To Make Air Fryer Strawberries & Cream Baked Oatmeal

Here are the step-by-step instructions:

Start by mixing the oats with the heavy cream.

Then mix in the light brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Then fold in the strawberries, and mix well.

Spray your air fryer-safe pan. Check the blog post for where I got these pans, which fit perfectly in the Vortex. Spread the mixture into the greased pan. Place your pan in the air fryer basket or oven.

Press the air fryer button and set the timer for 12 minutes, and the temperature to 330 degrees F, air fryer setting. After 12 minutes, see if it’s cooked; if not, add another 5 minutes.  As soon as it has a golden brown color, remove it from the air fryer.

Air Fryer Strawberries & Cream Oatmeal Recipe Tips

• Use a Heatproof Dish: Use a heatproof, oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer basket to contain the oatmeal mixture.
• Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary based on the air fryer model. Check for doneness by looking for a golden, crispy top and a set center.
• Mix Thoroughly: Ensure all ingredients are well combined before cooking to distribute the flavors evenly.
• Add Strawberries Last: Fold in the strawberries gently just before cooking to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
• Top with Additional Toppings: After cooking, you can top your oatmeal with extra strawberries, a dollop of cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.

Air Fryer Strawberries & Cream Oatmeal Recipe Faqs

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats? While old-fashioned oats are recommended for their texture, quick oats can be used. Just adjust the cooking time as they may cook faster.

How do I prevent the oatmeal from sticking to the dish? Lightly grease the heatproof dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

Can I use frozen strawberries? Yes, you can use frozen strawberries. Thaw them and pat dry before adding to the oatmeal to avoid excess moisture.

What should I do if my oatmeal is too dry or too wet? If too dry, add a splash of milk or cream. If too wet, cook a little longer, checking every few minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

How can I store leftovers? Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the oatmeal mixture and store it in the fridge. Cook it in the air fryer when ready to eat.
