Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 pineapple, peeled and cored
1/3 cup packed plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
4 frozen pitted cherries, thawed, rinsed and drained
2 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups 2-percent milk or plant-based milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish without handles with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Slice the pineapple into four 1/4-inch-thick rings and cut the remaining pineapple into small dice. Measure out 1/2 cup diced pineapple and set aside, reserving the rest for another use. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and arrange the pineapple slices in a square in the dish. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
  • Combine the oats, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, almond extract, and eggs in a separate bowl. Pour over the oat mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped pineapple. Spoon the oatmeal mixture over the pineapple rings, spreading to cover. Cook in a 6-quart air fryer at 325 degrees F until puffed and golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes (see Cook's Note).
  • Let cool in the baking dish for 5 minutes, then gently loosen the sides with a butter knife and flip the baked oatmeal out onto a cutting board, to reveal the pineapple slices. Let cool for 10 additional minutes before slicing.
