1. Used air fryer at 170C for 30mins. Closed with foil to avoid burning top and continued for another 10mins at 150C cos still wet. 2. Added walnut, strawberries, raisins, apple, strawberry yogurt, honey (no maple but just taste mixture before baking for individual's taste and adjust). Didnt use carrot or bicarbonate. 2.Didnt add topping.
