A quick and easy 15-minute homemade granola recipe made with rolled oats, nuts, honey, and coconut oil, cooked in an air fryer for a crispy, chunky texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ⅓ cup nut of choice (almond, walnut, pecan, or peanuts), roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix oats, chopped nuts, cinnamon, salt, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a bowl until evenly combined.
  2. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper; pour the granola mixture into the basket and press firmly with a spatula to form an even layer.
  3. Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 8–12 minutes, checking at 5 minutes to prevent burning, until the granola is golden and crisp.
  4. Remove the basket and let the granola cool for 5–10 minutes, then lift the parchment to transfer and spread the granola out to cool completely.

Notes

Always line your air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent the granola from falling through the holes and burning., Press the granola firmly into an even layer to get big, clumpy granola instead of loose crumbs., Make ahead to enjoy for breakfast, snacks, or as a crunchy topping for desserts., Variations: add shredded coconut, peanut or almond butter before cooking; toss in chocolate chips, dried fruits, or mini M&M’s after cooling., Substitutions: Use maple syrup instead of honey for vegan option; substitute coconut oil with grapeseed, sunflower, avocado, or olive oil; omit nuts for nut-free version., Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks; freeze up to 3 months in a sealed bag.
