Air Fryer Granola

why we love this air fryer granola recipe

First of all, what’s not to love about using an air fryer? If you’re like me, then you want to try air frying just about everything. Air frying this granola helps cut down on both preheat time and cooking time so you can have your granola in your bowl in under 30 minutes! Plus, the air fryer does a great job at creating crispy, crunchy clusters of oats. Perfect for topping yogurt bowls or fruit with.

This cinnamon granola is also vegan, dairy-free, and eggless! This granola recipe is made without honey. Instead, it uses maple syrup and brown rice syrup to create sticky granola clusters.

serving the granola

This air fryer granola is super tasty paired with dairy-free yogurt. I love unsweetened soy, almond, or coconut yogurt topped with blueberries. It can also be eaten on its own with oat milk poured on top! The granola will stay fresh if stored in an air-tight container for about 1 month.

air fryer granola tips & tricks

Below are some tips, tricks, and faqs to help you make the best air fryer granola!

Is this granola vegan?

Yes! This recipe is dairy-free and vegan. It’s made without any honey. Instead, it uses maple syrup and brown rice syrup to form granola clusters.

What can I substitute for brown rice syrup?

If you can’t find brown rice syrup, you can sub in the same amount of light agave nectar or light corn syrup. You could also use more maple syrup. Note: if using agave or maple syrup the mixture won’t be quite as sticky, so the granola won’t form clusters as well.

Can this granola be baked?

Yes, this granola can be baked in a traditional oven instead of the air fryer. You’ll want to bake it at 300F for about 25-27 minutes, stirring halfway.
