Air Fryer Peanut Butter Granola
Description
Crunchy, naturally sweetened peanut butter granola made in the air fryer in just 15 minutes — no oven required.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey, or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons oil, coconut oil or neutral oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped, optional
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Make the peanut butter sauce. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and coconut oil. Microwave 20–30 seconds, then stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Coat the oats. Add the rolled oats and chopped peanuts to a large bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the top and stir until every oat is evenly coated.
- Line and load the basket. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or a perforated liner. Spread the granola in an even layer.
- Air fry. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 10–12 minutes, pausing every 3–4 minutes to stir. The granola is done when golden and fragrant — it will still feel slightly soft.
- Cool completely. Transfer to a flat surface and let cool completely without stirring to form clusters. Once cool, break into chunks and stir in the chocolate chips.
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
Notes
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months. Cool completely before sealing.
- For the biggest clusters, don't stir the granola while it cools.
- Nut-free: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and omit the peanuts.
