Description

I love making a great and healthy snack for my family in the Air Fryer, and this one is no different. Today I surprised my kids with a hearty after-school snack with Air Fryer Chocolate Chip Granola.

Ingredients 

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup pecans, diced
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Lined a 6-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Mix all your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: chocolate chips, pecans, chia seeds, salt, and old-fashioned oats. Mix well until you have an even distribution of all ingredients.
  • Add oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all dry ingredients are coated. *NOTE* For this step, I like to use a fork as it is easier to coat all oats.
  • Once all coated, pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Push down with a fork so nice and compacted. *NOTE* If you don’t have a pan that fits your air fryer, you can put the mixture into the basket and cook it that way. Make sure it is completely cool when you take it out of the basket. I put about 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil into a paper towel and rub down the basket if you do so. It will make it easier when you take the granola out.
  • Cook on manual at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden.
  • Once it is done nice and golden, take the pan out of the air fryer basket and let it cool completely.
  • Once cool, break into pieces and keep in an airtight container.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Notes

INGREDIENTS SUBSTITUTION:
  • Maple syrup: you can substitute it with honey
  • Pecans: are a nice taste to chai and chocolate, but you can also substitute them with your favorite nuts.
NOTES:
When cooking, cook until nice and golden, and it is important to let it cool off. So when breaking out of the pan, you will have clusters.
