Why this recipe works

A soft bake, not crunchy granola

Fine rolled oats remain visible in this soft bake. Core the apple but keep its clean skin. A shallow dish about 18 × 12 cm avoids a tall raw centre. The quantity makes two breakfast portions.

Recipe

Air fryer apple baked oats

Air fryer apple baked oats with milk and egg. Let the oats soak briefly, then bake a soft breakfast dish until the centre is fully set.

Ingredients

2 servings

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Oil the dish. Wash and core the apple, then dice it small; the 150 g refers to edible apple with skin. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

  2. 2

    Mix and season

    Mix milk, egg and sugar. Stir in oats, baking powder and cinnamon, then fold in apple. Soak for about 5 minutes, included in preparation.

  3. 3

    Cook

    If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Spread shallowly in the dish and bake for about 22 minutes at 170 °C. Edges may turn golden; lower the heat if browning early.

  4. 4

    Check and serve

    The centre must be set with no raw egg mixture. Moist apple is normal, liquid batter is not. Extend if needed and serve warm in two portions. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Air fryer apple baked oats

No. This version uses intact fine flakes, not finely blended oats.

Only the surface may toast slightly. The intended centre is a soft breakfast bake.

Not without changes. Egg binds this mixture; an egg-free version needs adjusted quantities.

Apple may remain locally juicy. The surrounding egg and oat mixture must still be fully set and heated through.
