Air Fryer Granola is so quick and easy to throw together. You can enjoy fresh granola without any additives or excess sugar with the help of your air fryer in less than 15 minutes.

Air Fryer Granola is such a quick and easy breakfast or snack option. Once you give this version a try you'll never buy store bought again.

This granola is naturally sweetened with a few tablespoons of honey, which can easily be subbed for maple syrup or rice malt syrup if you'd prefer.

I love making granola in my air fryer because it is so fast! It's also great in the warmer months so that I don't have to turn on the oven and heat up the whole house.

INGREDIENTS

Here's what you need to make your own homemade granola (measurements are in the full recipe at the bottom of this post)...

  • Traditional Rolled Oats - Also known as old-fashioned oats.
  • Almonds - OR you could use your favourite nut instead.
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt
  • Honey - OR you could use maple syrup or rice malt / brown rice syrup instead. 
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Coconut Oil 

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and stir well to combine.

Cook on 180C / 350F for 10 minutes, stopping every few minutes to give it a good stir. The granola is done when the mixture is golden brown.

TOP TIPS

  • Be careful not to burn the granola.  The oats brown really fast, so keep an eye on it as it cook. 
  • Be sure to use traditional rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats as they are also known.  Quick oats or steel cut don't work in this recipe. 
  • To store, pop in an airtight glass jar or container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. 
  • You can also freeze granola - just pop the jar or container in the freezer and store for a few months.  When you are ready to use just leave the jar on the bench overnight to defrost.  
  • Play around with your own variations with your favourite nuts and sweetener if you'd like.
  • Don't have an air fryer? Make this Honey Almond Granola in your oven.

Glazed Carrots full recipe 🥕🍵: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/#sidedishrecipes OR comment with "CARROT" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐🍴 Maybe it’s because of the cute color—my kids really love carrots. Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient. #glazedcarrots #carrotrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #cookitrealgood #veggies #sidedishes #sidedishrecipes

Mexican Chicken Salad Full Recipe 🌯🥗: https://www.cookitrealgood.com/mexican-chicken-salad/ OR comment with "MEXICAN" and I'll DM you the link! 🖐 I love Mexican food, so it's no surprise that one of my favourite salads is Mexican inspired. This Mexican Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients and is filling enough to be a complete meal on its own. The chicken is juicy and bursting with flavour. It's on the table in 15 minutes. Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka. But back during the Covid era, Gigi Hadid shared the recipe on her social media, and ever since then, everyone’s been calling it Gigi Hadid Pasta. Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe
