Ingredients (About 3 cups):
• 2 cups rolled oats
• ½ cup walnut halves, chopped
• ½ cup pistachios, chopped
• ¼ cup almonds, chopped
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
• 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 3 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• (Optional) 2 tbsp dried fruit (raisins or cranberries added after cooking)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Air Fryer
Put the air fryer on 160°C (320°F) and preheat for 3 minutes.
This ensures even roasting of the mix from the get-go.
2. Mixing of Ingredients
In a big bowl, combine oats, nuts, and sesame seeds, along with cinnamon and salt.
In a smaller bowl, combine honey (or syrup), melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry and toss until everything is evenly coated and glossy.
3. Air-fry Your Granola
Either line the basket with parchment paper or use an air-fryer-safe tray.
Spread the granola mixture out evenly—don't pack it, or it won't crisp.
Air-fry for between 10 and 12 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through.
Watch closely since the honey and nuts will caramelize really fast!
4. Cool & Solidify
Take it out and allow it to cool completely.
Granola gets hard while being cooled and makes wonderful, crunchy clusters.
Stir in dried fruit, if using.
5. Serve or Store
Top with Greek yogurt, smoothie bowls, or fresh fruit, or eat it on its own!
Store it in an airtight jar for 2 weeks (not that it will last that long)!
Pro Tips for Perfect-Air-Fryer Granola
Do not overfill the basket—you are better off working in batches so as to allow for equal toasting.
For extra crunch, give your granola an additional few minutes at a lower heat after shaking.
Interchange flavor twists: orange zest, cardamom, and drizzle with tahini for Mediterranean flair!
Switch to maple syrup to keep it vegan.
