Hey, y'all! Cinnamon granola is always delicious, but especially so this time of year. Once you make it homemade, you won't want to buy it at the store - and it's never been easier to make at home, as you can make a fabulous batch in the air fryer! I'm excited to share the recipe for my Air Fryer Cinnamon Granola with y'all today.

I hope you love it as much as I do!

Air Fryer Cinnamon Granola Ingredients

• 3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup raw pepitas
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Air Fryer Cinnamon Granola

1. Add the oats, pepitas, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir well until the oat mixture is fully and evenly coated.
4. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Pour the granola into the air fryer basket and press it down with the bake of a spoon or spatula. (Important tip: Cut the parchment paper about 1 inch larger than the base of your air fryer basket on all sides. This will leave a little lip of paper all around the basket which makes it easy to lift the granola out once cooled.)
5. Bake the granola in the air fryer at 325 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. After 5 minutes, pause to stir the granola and return it to the air fryer for the remaining 5-7 minutes. The granola is done when it starts to turn golden brown.
6. Allow the granola to cool in the air fryer for about 5 minutes. Then, remove the granola from the air fryer and spread it out on a large plate or baking sheet. Allow the granola to cool undisturbed for at least 60 minutes.

3. Pressing the granola into the baking sheet or air fryer helps create larger granola clusters.
4. Granola can burn quickly, especially in the air fryer. Keep a close eye on the granola for the last half of baking and remove it as soon as it turns golden brown.
