Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup rolled oats, quick oats, or old fashioned oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 cup butter (melted)
- 1/8 cup brown sugar (or maple syrup)
- 1 small egg
- 1/3 cup milk
Fruit
- 1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the oats, salt, ground cinnamon, baking powder, vanilla extract, melted butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, egg, and milk until well combined. Gently fold in the blueberries to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
- Prepare Cooking Vessel: Spray your casserole dish or individual ramekins lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking, ensuring an easy release after baking.
- Fill the Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased dish or ramekins, filling about halfway to allow room for the oats to expand as they bake.
- Air Fry: Place the filled dish into the air fryer basket, set the temperature to 300°F (about 150°C), and cook on the air fryer setting for 10 to 15 minutes until the oatmeal is set and lightly golden on top.
Notes
- You can substitute maple syrup for brown sugar for a different kind of sweetness.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries both work well; if using frozen, no need to thaw.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size of your dish or ramekins and the power of your air fryer.
- Make sure to spray your dish well to avoid sticking, or use silicone ramekins.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond milk and butter with coconut oil.
