Packed with oats, nuts, and a touch of honey, it’s a great choice for a morning boost or a satisfying treat any time of the day. With the air fryer, you’ll achieve the perfect crispy texture in less time than traditional baking.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or cashews), chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Pour in the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir everything together until well coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange the Granola:
    • Spread the granola mixture evenly in the air fryer basket. Try to avoid large clumps to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook the Granola:
    • Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 3 minutes to prevent burning and ensure even crisping.
  6. Cool and Store:
    • Once golden and crispy, remove the granola from the air fryer and let it cool completely. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
    • Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Enjoy your crunchy, homemade granola as a snack, breakfast topping, or added to yogurt!
