Air Fryer Apple Baked Oatmeal Cups

by

Using a few simple ingredients and 1 bowl, throw these healthy apple cinnamon baked oatmeal cups in the oven. They’re ready in about 30 minutes. The whole family, kids included, love them. Try the other flavors listed, too!

The fall season may mean saying GOODBYE to pool days, but it also means giving a big HELLO to favorite seasonal flavors like apple cinnamon bread and comforting snacks like pumpkin oatmeal bars. And of course, plenty of pie crust and Thanksgiving pies! With fall flavors on my mind, I tested out a muffin version of my baked oatmeal.

About Time 

  • Prep Time  5 mins
  • Cook Time  25 mins
  • Total Time 30  mins

    Ingredients

    • 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) milk (dairy or nondairy)
    • 2 large eggs*
    • 1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup*
    • 1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
    • 3 cups (255g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats*
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 heaping cup (120g) peeled chopped apple*
    • optional: 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans
    • optional: coarse sugar for topping

      Instructions

      1. Preheat Air Fryer to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. If using muffin liners, spray them with nonstick spray. The oatmeal cups stick to the liners a bit regardless, so I recommend skipping them.
      2. Whisk all of the ingredients together, except for the apples (and nuts and coarse sugar), in 1 large bowl. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the apples and nuts (if using). Batter will be a little liquid-y. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, making sure both the oats/apples and liquid are in each. Fill all the way to the top. See photo above. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
      3. get in airfryer for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top appears set. If the tops appear to brown very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top.
      4. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cover leftover oatmeal cups tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
