If you’re a fan of baked oatmeal but want something quicker and that makes a smaller batch, this recipe is for you. The oatmeal mixture (made with oat flour that you make in the blender, along with whole oats) is patted into a square and air-fried until it’s crisp on top and chewy-hearty inside. The finishing touches are a swoop of yogurt and a fresh berry topping. Done in only 20 minutes, it’s easy enough for a weekday.
Ingredients
Uncooked old fashioned rolled oats
1½ cup(s), divided
Unsweetened applesauce
½ cup(s)
Powdered peanut butter
3 Tbsp
Honey
2 tsp
Baking soda
½ tsp
Table salt
¼ tsp
Ground cinnamon
¼ tsp
Plain fat free Greek yogurt
¼ cup(s)
Blueberries
¼ cup(s)
Blackberries
¼ cup(s), chopped
Instructions
1
In a blender, process ¾ cup oats on high speed until a fine flour forms, 30 seconds to 1 minute. In a medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, powdered peanut butter, honey, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the oat flour and the remaining oats. Onto a piece of parchment paper, pat the mixture into a 5 ½ x 4–inch rectangle.
2
Preheat an air fryer, if necessary, to 350°F. Using the parchment paper, lift the oatmeal mixture and place it (and the paper) in the air fryer basket. Air-fry until browned on top and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
3
Remove from the air fryer and cut into 4 equal pieces. Cool slightly. Spread 1 tbsp yogurt over each oatmeal bar; sprinkle the berries evenly over the bars.
