Notes
Top tips
If you need your oatmeal to be gluten free, be sure to check the label on your oats. They should be labeled gluten free. My favorite is One Degree Organic Sprouted Rolled Oats that I buy on Thrive Market. I find that sprouted oats a just a little easier to digest.
When adding fruit or other mix-in ingredients, be sure to stir them in well and that none of them on are top of the ramekins, as they will burn. If you want fruit or nuts at the top, wait until after baking to add them.
You may want to add 1-2 tablespoons less dairy free milk if you are adding fruit or jam to this recipe, as the fruit does give off some liquid when cooking. This is not required, just based on your personal preference on how creamy you want the oats under the crispy topping.
Storing leftovers
Fridge: Store leftover air fryer baked oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days. Be sure it’s well covered (put it in an airtight container or add plastic wrap to the top.
Freezer: Store in the freezer up to 1 month. You can freeze it directly in the ramekins or spoon it out of the ramekin and store it in a freezer safe bag or container. Defrost in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat in the microwave 1-1:30 or in the air fryer at 350F for 3-5 minutes.
