Ingredients
Scale
Oatmeal Base
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Toppings and Flavoring
- Brown sugar (as needed)
- Ground cinnamon (as needed)
- Fresh fruits (optional, for topping)
- Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Using the recommended pan size is crucial to avoid oatmeal overflow or uneven cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: In the greased pan, add rolled oats, milk, water, and salt. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cook in Air Fryer: Place the pan inside the air fryer basket and cook at 300°F for 15 minutes. Do not stir during cooking to allow the oats to cook evenly.
- Remove and Rest: Carefully take out the hot pan using oven mitts or kitchen towels. Place it on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- Add Sweeteners and Let Set: 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 soften and thicken further.
- Serve: Top with fresh fruits and chopped nuts if desired. Serve warm for a nourishing breakfast.
Notes
- Stick strictly to the recommended pan size and ingredient quantities to prevent overflow or drying out.
- For cooking smaller quantities, adjust the pan accordingly but be cautious of cooking times and liquid evaporation.
- Use non-dairy milk as a substitute if preferred, but this may slightly alter texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
