Make sure your meal prep for the week includes these fun Air-Fryer Maple Blueberry Oatmeal Balls that the whole family will love!

People ask me all the time where I get ideas for my recipes. Most of the time, an idea comes to me while looking at other recipes on Instagram or Pinterest. Sometimes, it’s a dish I have at a restaurant. These Air-Fryer Maple Blueberry Oatmeal Balls? Inspired by a product I bought at Whole Foods!

I’m always looking for new quick breakfast items for Norah. She loves overnight oats, scrambled eggs, waffles, fruit, and pancakes, but I wanted something full of nutrients that I could prep and freeze for future use (I knew my groggy morning self would appreciate it.). I found these Go Oats Blueberry Oatmeal Bites when ordering groceries and I loved the concept so much I had to recreate them.

I’ll definitely buy them again and try other flavors, but I’m so glad that I can make them when I have a little extra time on the weekends! They’re simultaneously creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside with a sweet pop from the blueberries. I absolutely love how customizable these are. The flavor combinations are endless!

Once you get the hang of them, try swapping the bluebs for grated apple, mashed banana, or other berries! I think a coconut mango version has to be on the horizon for me. Yum!

What are your go-to make ahead meals for mornings? I’m always looking for a tasty time-saver when it comes to breakfast!
