How To Cook Air Fryer Baked Oatmeal

  • Start by combining the ripe banana with the oatmeal. Mix in the applesauce.
  • Add the honey, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and mix well.
  • Spray your muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. 
  • Scoop your mixture into the greased muffin tin.

    Air Fryer Oatmeal Bites

Pro Tips:

  • Grease your muffin tin very well, so they do not stick. There is nothing worse than trying to force food out of a muffin tin.
  • Add some mix-ins; some of my favorites are diced strawberries, mini chocolate chips, blueberries, raspberry, and diced apples. And anything else you and your family love.
  • If looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the oatmeal for a gluten-free version. 
  • Serve with some healthy breakfast options; my kids loved eating these with pancakes, bacon, and eggs.

FAQ:

Can I use Steel Cut Oats?

No, they will not cook. Steel-cut oats take much longer to cook. And the air fryer does not do a great job making them.

How Do You Make Oatmeal With Eggs?

You can add in an egg if you are looking for even more protein for breakfast. The egg will bind everything together, mix 1 egg into the mix and continue with the rest of the directions. 

It will bake up the same way, with or without eggs.

How Do You Make Baked Oatmeal Healthy?

This is a really healthy recipe; if you want, you can substitute the granulated sugar for either a sugar substitute, honey, or applesauce (unsweetened).

What Toppings Can I Put On Top?

There are so many ways to add some flavor to these and make them a really kid-friendly recipe. Some of my favorites are:

  • Maple Syrup
  • Melted butter
  • Chocolate Chips
  • More fresh fruit
  • Honey
  • Cream

How To Store:

If you have any leftovers, place them into an airtight container. Place the container into the refrigerator; they should last for a few days. 

How To Reheat Oatmeal In The Air Fryer

If you want to reheat any leftover oatmeal cups, place them back into the air fryer at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for a couple of minutes, just until they are hot.

You can also reheat them in a microwave, microwave until warmed through.

How To Freeze Air Fryer Oatmeal Bites

This is a great make-ahead meal and freezer-friendly breakfast. If you want to freeze a batch or double the batch, they freeze amazingly!

To Freeze: Let cool to room temperature, then place them into the freezer. Freeze until frozen solid. Then place into a freezer bag or container. 

To Use from Frozen: Place the frozen Air Fryer Oatmeal Bites into the refrigerator the night before eating them.
