Ingredients

1 cup Rolled Oats, old fashioned check notes
1&1/2 tbsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 small pinch Salt
1/4 cup Walnuts coarsely chopped
1/4 cup Almonds coarsely chopped
1 tbsp Chia seeds optional
1&1/2 tbsp Avocado Oil
1&1/2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup

Instructions

ALWAYS READ THE FULL RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST. THEN GATHER YOUR INGREDIENTS. PREP AND GET GOING. DO NOT FORGET TO CHECK THE NOTES FOR ADDITIONAL INFO & TIPS.

Gather your ingredients.
Chop the nuts very coarsely. Set aside.
Take a big mixing bowl. Add rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, walnuts, almonds & chia seeds to the bowl. Mix the dry ingredients well.
Further add avocado oil and honey to the oats mix. Mix well with a fork or small spatula. Make sure to coat all the dry ingredients with the oil and honey.
Cover the base of the air fryer basket with Air fryer Parchment Paper. Depending upon the size of your basket, it might need 2 papers. Make sure to cover the basket completely. Set aside. If your air fryer needs pre-heating then preheat it first and then put the parchment paper right before adding the granola for roasting.
Now spread the oats mixture on the parchment paper in a single layer.
Insert the air fryer basket back and Air fry at 300*F for about 15 minutes. Make sure to flip and shake the ingredients inside the basket 3-4 times to avoid burning.
My home-made granola took exactly 15 minutes. Timing will vary depending upon the model of the air fryer. Therefore check at about 8-10 minutes for doneness and go from there.
Once the 15 minutes are done, remove granola from the air fryer basket and spread out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Then Store in a dry and air tight container.
Additonal ingredients - Once it is cooled, you can add dry cranberries, dry blueberries, raisins, or mini chocolate chips to it.

Recipe Notes & Tips

- I would recommend pre-heating the air fryer for 2 minutes before you roast the granola for even cooking.

- Make sure that you cover the base of the air fryer basket with parchment paper properly so that oats do not fall through.

- It is important to stir the granola every 5 minutes while air frying to avoid burning.

- Cooking time will vary depending upon the model of your air fryer. I cooked mine in Instant Vortex Air fryer.

- NUTS - I used roughly chopped chunky pieces of nuts and added these with oats. If you are using finer chopped nuts then add these after 10 minutes to the rolled oats. Also make sure that you add dry berries after cooking while cooling down.

What are the ingredients of Home-made Granola?

My home made Granola requires handful ingredients that are already pantry staple.

- Old Fashioned Rolled Oats - I would highly recommend that you use old fashioned rolled oats. Quick cooking oats would burn easily and are not wholesome. If you do not have it then buy it. It is a good buy. You will make this home made granola again and again.

- Brown Sugar - Brown Sugar adds nice color and deep flavor to the granola.

- Cinnamon - You will love adding cinnamon to your granola. It adds warmth.

- Salt - just a tad bit is enough.

- Avocado Oil - Since avocado oil is neutral in flavor, it is a great addition. But you can use coconut oil too.

- Honey - You can either use honey or maple syrup for your granola.

- Vanilla Extract - It adds delicious flavor and aroma.

- Nuts and Seeds - Although a simple granola is good with above ingredients. But the addition of Walnuts & Almonds and Chia Seeds make granola more wholesome.
