Prep Time: 3 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Serving: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashion rolled oats, gluten-free if needed
- 1 large egg
- ½ large over-ripe banana, more brown spots = sweeter
- 3 tbsp almond milk or oat milk, I love vanilla unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional Sweetness: 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Flavor Ideas: 1 tbsp peanut butter or 1 tbsp almond butter
- Mix-in Ideas: 2 tbsp chocolate chips,2 Tbsp blueberries, extra banana slices on top, 2 tbs rainbow sprinkles, 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 290°F and grease a single-serve ramekin or baking dish.
- Pour the batter into a greased ramekin (I used an 8-ounce one). Top with the extra chocolate chips or your desired mix-in.
- Air fry at 290°F for 12 – 15 min total. Check at the 7-minute mark since all air fryers are different. If it is browning too quickly on top, feel free to add a piece of aluminum foil on top.
- The oats should be cooked through and slightly browned on top – enjoy!
Notes
Rolled Oats: you can use quick oats, but do not use steel-cut oats.Oat or Almond Milk: You can use skim, soy, rice, 2%, whole, or cashew milk.
Storing: For best results, store meal-prepped air fryer baked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes, in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 8 minutes, or in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes.
