Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I make this in an Air-fryer?
Yes. You can safely put oven-safe bowls including ramekins into an air fryer. Make sure to decrease the time or temperature to avoid overcooking and burning the oatmeal.
Can I use a different type of protein powder instead of collagen peptides?
Yes! If you prefer a different protein source, feel free to substitute collagen peptides with your favorite protein powder, such as whey, plant-based, or hemp protein.
Can I use Honey Instead of Maple Syrup?
Yes, you can use other alternative liquid sweeteners like honey, agave, or date syrup instead of maple syrup in these recipes.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Simply double or triple the ingredients accordingly. Adjust the baking time accordingly as well, keeping an eye on the oatmeal's texture and color to ensure it's perfectly cooked.
