Carrot Cake Crispy Top Air Fryer Oatmeal

Imagine the comforting flavors of carrot cake combined with the wholesome goodness of oatmeal, all cooked in your air fryer. This Carrot Cake Air Fryer Oatmeal is a delicious, nutritious, and cozy treat that feels like dessert but is healthy enough for breakfast.

The recipe starts with ripe bananas, which add natural sweetness and creaminess to the mixture. You’ll mix in grated carrots, oats, protein powder, and warm spices like cinnamon and cloves for that classic carrot cake flavor. A touch of Greek yogurt and milk gives it a lovely, moist texture, while an egg helps bind everything together.

When air-fried at a low setting, the top forms a light, crispy layer, almost like a crème brûlée, while the inside remains soft and cake-like. The result is a hearty, flavorful oatmeal that you can slice and enjoy just like cake. Top it off with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for that perfect crunch.

This dish is perfect for busy mornings, post-workout fuel, or even as a healthy dessert. It’s a delightful way to enjoy the best of both worlds: comfort food and nutrition.
