  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup coconut chips
  • 1.2 oz freeze-dried berries

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) to warm up while you prepare the granola mixture.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and coconut chips.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Coat the dry mixture: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir well to ensure every bit is evenly coated.
  5. Air fry the granola: Transfer the mixture into the air fryer basket or tray spread evenly. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
  6. Cool and add berries: Once golden and crisp, remove the granola and let it cool completely. After cooling, gently mix in the freeze-dried berries.
  7. Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • Shaking the basket every 5 minutes ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
  • Adjust the air frying time depending on your air fryer model and desired crispiness.
  • Use gluten-free oats to maintain the gluten-free quality.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey, but note that this is not vegan-friendly.
  • Freeze-dried berries add flavor without moisture; avoid using fresh berries as they may make the granola soggy.
