Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • cup rice krispies
  • cup light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cups blanched sliced almonds
  • dried cranberries (to taste)
  • raisins (to taste)

Method
 

  1. Combine the sugar, butter, and honey in a mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds until the butter melts. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Separately mix the oats, rice krispies, cinnamon, and sliced almonds together in a large bowl.
  3. Fold the melted butter and oats mixture together until the oats are well coated, ensuring no dry spots remain.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F. Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Add the oat mixture to the parchment paper and spread evenly.
  5. Air fry for 10 minutes or until well toasted. Stir the granola 3 to 4 times to cook evenly.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and let the granola cool completely for about 20 minutes on a wire rack.
  7. Place into a mixing bowl and gently stir in the cranberries and raisins (or whatever dried fruit you have decided to use).

Notes

- Use high-quality rolled oats, not instant, for the best texture and chewiness in your granola.
- For extra flavor, toast the almonds lightly before adding them to the mixture, enhancing their nutty notes.
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the granola on a baking sheet at 300°F (150°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
- Storage: Store completely cooled granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain its crispness.
