Notes

Old fashioned oats – This recipe is developed to work only for old fashioned / rolled oats. Please do not use steel cut oats (since it needs a longer cooking time and more liquid) or quick oats (ends up very mushy).

To make it gluten free, use gluten free oats

If you are using Quaker oats, old fashioned oats is same as rolled oats.

Air fryer size – We used Instant Vortex 6 quart air fryer for this recipe

Pan – A 6-inch baking pan is perfect for cooking one cup of oats. A smaller pan might end up with oats over flowing whereas a bigger pan might make a drier oatmeal instead of creamy texture.

Storage instructions: Leftover oatmeal can be refrigerated in a covered container for up to 4 days.

To reheat - Microwave the oatmeal in a microwave safe container along with a splash of milk or water to loosen up. Add your favorite topping and enjoy.
