Let the oatmeal stand with the hot water for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and grate a carrot.

Add the grated carrot, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Blend a little with an immersion blender. If you don't have one, you can do it in a traditional blender, just for a few seconds, since we need the oatmeal to have texture in order to form them.

Finally, add the oat bran and incorporate. If you feel it is too soft, add 1 extra tablespoon of bran.

Heat oil in a frying pan and form the milanesas in the pan so that you can brown them on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.

I recommend making them small so that they do not break when flipped.

If you want to make them in the air fryer, place the milanesas on a greased baking sheet. Cook at 390ºF or 198ºC for 5 minutes, turn and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Total time depends on your hot air fryer and the size of the milanesas.

Serve the milanesas with potatoes and salad or your favorite side dishes.
