Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice Granola Recipe -- It's fall, and you know what that means: pumpkin spice everything! If you're looking for a way to enjoy the flavor of autumn in an easy, delicious, and healthy way, look no further than this air fryer pumpkin spice granola recipe.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, pepitas
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or other dried fruits, optional, for added sweetness and texture

Instructions

  • Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C) for a few minutes.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, and shredded coconut. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, pure maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  • Coat the Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until the oats and nuts are evenly coated with the mixture.
  • Air Fry the Granola: Transfer the coated granola mixture to the air fryer basket, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • Air Fry in Batches: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the granola in batches to ensure even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket.
  • Air Fry for 10-15 Minutes: Air fry the granola at 325°F (160°C) for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on the granola to prevent burning.
  • Add Dried Fruits (Optional): If using dried cranberries or other dried fruits, add them to the granola once it's done cooking and has cooled slightly.
  • Cool and Store: Allow the Air Fryer Pumpkin Spice Granola to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • Enjoy: Serve the granola as a crunchy topping for yogurt, milk, or smoothie bowls, or enjoy it as a delicious snack on its own.

Equipment
