How to Make Homemade Air Fryer Granola
Today, there are hundreds of varieties of granola, featuring every combination of nuts, fruits, seeds, and sweets. I love to make my own not only because it is cost effective, but it is also healthier and tastier then the store bought varieties.
Making your own version is simple and allows you to include only your favorite ingredients. The fun part about making airy fryer granola is that you can mix up the ingredients every time you make i!! All you need is the key ingredient: rolled oats . Here is a simple recipe to get you started.
Note: you can always add more honey + oil, if the mixture is too dry or if it is too wet, add some more rolled oats.
