Description

This air fryer oatmeal recipe offers a quick, creamy, and delicious breakfast option cooked effortlessly in an air fryer. Using simple ingredients like rolled oats, milk, water, and a touch of salt, this oatmeal is baked to perfection at 300°F, creating a comforting meal that’s easy to customize with brown sugar, cinnamon, fresh fruits, and nuts.

Ingredients

Scale

Oatmeal Base

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional Toppings and Flavorings

  • Brown sugar, as needed
  • Ground cinnamon, as needed
  • Fresh fruits, for topping
  • Chopped nuts, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the oatmeal after cooking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In the prepared pan, combine rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly without overflowing the pan.
  3. Air Fry: Place the pan carefully into the air fryer basket and cook at 300°F (approximately 150°C) for 15 minutes. Do not stir during cooking to allow the oats to bake evenly.
  4. Remove and Rest: Using oven mitts or kitchen towels, carefully remove the hot pan from the air fryer and set it on a wire rack to cool slightly.
  5. Add Sweetener and Spice: Stir in brown sugar and ground cinnamon to taste. Cover the pan with a plate and let the oatmeal rest for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken and soften further.
  6. Serve: Top the oatmeal with your choice of fresh fruits and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Serve warm for a comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • Use an 8-inch round cake pan to prevent oatmeal overflow and ensure proper cooking.
  • Do not alter the ingredient quantities significantly to maintain texture and prevent dryness.
  • For cooking smaller quantities (such as one cup of oats), reduce cooking time accordingly and consider using a smaller pan to avoid spillage.
  • Letting the oatmeal rest after cooking is crucial for achieving a creamy, thick texture.
