Ingredients

Notes

Every air fryer model can vary slightly in terms of temperature and cooking time, so it's important to keep an eye on your oat bars as they cook.

Start with the recommended cooking time and temperature provided in the recipe, but be prepared to make adjustments as needed.

For a softer and chewier texture, you can reduce the cooking time slightly. On the other hand, if you prefer a crispier texture, you can increase the cooking time or temperature slightly.
