Crunchy Air Fryer Granola

Ingredients

• 100 g oat flakes (oat flakes)
• 30 g puffed cereals (puffed cereals like spelt or rice)
• 40 g mixed nuts (mixed nuts of choice, chopped)
• 100 g fruit puree (1 blended apple or pear, or 1 mashed banana)
• 2 tbsp almond butter (almond butter or other nut butter)
• 1 tbsp honey (honey)
• flavoring of choice (vanilla, cinnamon, or bitter cocoa to taste)
• additional ingredients (chocolate chips, raisins, or coconut chips to be added after cooking)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes, puffed cereals, and chopped nuts.

2. 2

   Add your chosen flavorings (vanilla, cinnamon, or cocoa) and the fruit puree, almond butter, and honey.

3. 3

   Mix all ingredients thoroughly until you obtain a sticky, uniform mixture.

4. 4

   Transfer the mixture into the air fryer basket and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a flat layer.

5. 5

   Cook in the air fryer at 170°C (340°F) for 15 minutes. Stir the mixture only once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

6. 6

   Once cooked, remove the basket and let the granola cool completely. This is essential for it to become crunchy.

7. 7

   Once cold, break the granola into large chunks with your hands.

8. 8

   Stir in your additional ingredients like chocolate chips, raisins, or coconut chips.

Notes

Oven Alternative: Bake at 180°C (355°F) for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Storage: Store in a glass jar for up to 2 weeks. The fruit puree acts as a natural sweetener and binder.
