Air Fryer Peanut Butter Granola

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

Directions

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.
