Air Fryer Muesli
Description
Crunchy, gently toasted air fryer muesli made with oats, nuts, seeds, coconut, and dried fruit. A quick, healthy, customizable breakfast ready in about 15 minutes — no oven required.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup nuts, almonds, walnuts, or pecans, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup seeds, sunflower, pumpkin, or flax
- ¼ cup coconut flakes, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons honey, or maple syrup for vegan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup dried fruit, raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots — added after toasting
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Combine the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Drizzle in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla; stir until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in an even layer in a parchment-lined basket or tray. Don't overcrowd — work in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden. Watch closely near the end.
- Cool completely, then stir in the dried fruit. Store in an airtight container.
Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Cooking spray (optional)
Notes
- Add chia seeds and dried fruit after toasting — both burn easily.
- For a true raw muesli, skip the air fryer step and soak overnight in milk or juice.
- For granola-style clusters, add 1 tablespoon coconut oil and press down before toasting.
- Store airtight at room temperature up to 2 weeks, fridge up to 1 month, or freeze up to 3 months.
