Instructions

1. Preheat Air Fryer
   Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish that fits in your air fryer basket (or use parchment paper).

   Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is set.

7. Cool & Serve
   Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with extra milk, yogurt, or a drizzle of syrup.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Baked Oatmeal

• Use a dish that fits your air fryer with about ½ inch of space around it for airflow.

• Check at 18 minutes—air fryer temperatures can vary.

• For crispier edges, sprinkle a little brown sugar or oats on top before cooking.

• You can make individual portions in silicone muffin cups for grab-and-go breakfasts.

If you want, I can also give a keto-friendly or dairy-free version, or a peanut butter chocolate chip variation that’s extra indulgent.
