1. air fryer mince pie crumble bars
These taste as indulgent as they sound… seasonally perfect, giving all the Christmassy feels with a little stealth health.
2. caramelised baked pears in the air fryer
Slice pears in half, remove the core, pop into your favourite airfryer container (we used a small heatproof dish) and drizzle with Caramel Syrup.
Air fry at 180°C for roughly 10 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve warm with vegan yoghurt or ice cream for an easy, elegant pudding.
3. vegan air fryer spiced apple crumble cups
Dice up an apple, pop into a heatproof ramekin, sprinkle with cinnamon, and drizzle with Fruit Syrup. Top with oats and crushed nuts, then air fry in a ramekin at 180°C for 7–9 minutes.
You’ll get that hot, bubbling crumble vibe… without the oven wait.
4. air fryer chocolate baked oats
Here’s a very quick and easy breakfast or dessert recipe… chocolate baked oats, just a few store cupboard ingredients and then on the table in 15 mins max!
