Air Fryer Vanilla Granola

Step 1

Preheat Your Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). This will ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, chopped nuts, and seeds. Mix them thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Microwave this mixture for about 20-30 seconds, or until it's warm and well combined.

Step 4

Coat the Dry Ingredients: Pour the sweetened mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to thoroughly coat the oats, nuts, and seeds with the sweet mixture. Ensure that everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer the coated granola mixture to the air fryer basket. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to prevent clumping and ensure even browning.

Step 7

Keep a close eye on the granola, as it can brown quickly. The granola is ready when it reaches your desired level of crispiness and turns a lovely golden color.

Step 8

Once the granola is done, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool completely. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

If you like, add dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins, or apricots to the cooled granola for extra sweetness and chewiness.

Step 10

Transfer your homemade Vanilla Granola to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks or longer in the refrigerator.

Step 11

Enjoy your granola as a cereal with milk, a topping for yogurt, or as a satisfying snack any time of day.
