Instructions
Add all the ingredients with the exception of the chocolate chips to a blender and process until smooth.
2 cups rolled oats, ½ cup almond milk, 4 tablespoon peanut butter, 8 tablespoon maple syrup, 2 tablespoon cacao powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ cup applesauce, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Once blended, add the chocolate chips and combine.
⅓ cup chocolate chips
Grease or line a baking tin with parchment paper and then transfer the batter to the baking tin. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly and then place the baking tin inside your air fryer.
Air fry at 300°F (148°C) for 25 to 30 minutes until puffed up and the tops start to crack. Insert a toothpick in the middle to check if done. The toothpick should come out clean if done.
Serve the air fryer baked oats warm, or allow them to cool and store in airtight containers.

Notes
As with most of my recipes I am going to be using my Ninja Foodi multi-cooker to make my air fryer baked oats, but you can use any air fryer that you own; Just make sure to use a baking pan that fits into the air fryer you will be using.
Use a nonstick spray or parchment paper for easier cleaning.
This recipe is easily customizable; you can double the ingredients to make a double batch, or make individual portions of the same using ramekins.
ReheatingTo reheat, simply pop the baked oats into the microwave and warm for 2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, reheat them in the oven at 350°F for 14 minutes. Just make sure to cover with foil before heating in the oven to prevent the tops from burning. You also want to check if warm about midway through.
