Description

This Air Fryer Baklava Granola combines the rich flavors of honey, cinnamon, and toasted nuts for a crunchy, aromatic snack inspired by traditional baklava. Made with oats, walnuts, and pistachios, it’s a delightful and healthier twist on classic granola, perfectly toasted in the air fryer for a quick and easy preparation.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped raw walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup chopped roasted pistachios, divided

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, walnuts, honey, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, salt, and 3/4 cup of chopped roasted pistachios, mixing thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
  2. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the air fryer basket with a small piece of parchment paper, ensuring some of the vent holes remain exposed for proper air circulation. Alternatively, you can use a dedicated air fryer basket liner. Then spread the oat mixture in a single, even layer.
  3. Air Fry the Granola: Set the air fryer to 325°F (163°C) and cook the granola for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Continue cooking until the mixture turns a deep golden brown and becomes fragrant.
  4. Cool and Add Remaining Nuts: Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of roasted pistachios, then let the granola cool inside the air fryer basket for 15 to 20 minutes. This cooling time allows the granola to harden and develop its crunchiness.
  5. Break and Store: Once cooled, break the granola into small pieces. Transfer it to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, keeping it fresh for snacking.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket so the granola cooks evenly and crisps properly.
  • You can substitute walnuts and pistachios with other nuts if desired, such as almonds or pecans.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the honey is replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Keep a close eye during the last few minutes of air frying to prevent burning, as air fryer models vary.
  • Use parchment paper or an air fryer liner to facilitate easy cleaning.
