My baked oats recipe is pretty popular on this site so it was only a matter of time before I made baked pumpkin oats. Especially since it’s the Fall season. This is just like the regular version except all I did was add in some pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. I plan on making some apple pie baked oats soon. These are very WW-friendly for breakfast as well if you sub sugar-free maple syrup and chocolate chips.

Air Fryer Baked Oats

Since I’ve made my other baked oats recipe I’ve figured out how to make this recipe in your air fryer. My Ninja Foodie Air fryer has a Bake setting on it! Set the temperature to 325 and time to 7. Check it and if it’s not done continue baking for a couple of minutes longer. No need to preheat your oven for a simple baked oats recipe.

What Ingredients do I need?

In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.

Pumpkin Puree - Use organic if you can! The main ingredient is and always will be pumpkin. Those other brands are different types of squash that have been pureed.

Oats - If you have a blender pulse the oats until they form oat flour. Store the rest of the oat flour in an airtight container. This will make the oats look more like cake.

Maple Syrup - use pure syrup or sugar-free maple syrup to help lower the points

Vanilla - use pure vanilla - I get this and the maple syrup at Costco

Pumpkin Pie Spice - I have a recipe for homemade pumpkin pie spice.

Baking Powder - to help the oats rise

Salt

Chocolate Chips - use sugar free or regular chocolate chips

Feel free to add in your favorite protein powder to the oat mix. - Optional
