Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

1/3 cup honey
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the oats, chopped walnuts, honey, melted coconut oil, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and 3/4 cup of the chopped roasted pistachios until everything is well coated and evenly combined.
Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Line the basket of your air fryer with a small piece of parchment paper, making sure to leave some vent holes uncovered to allow proper air circulation. If you have an air fryer basket liner, you can use that instead for easier cleanup.
Air Fry the Granola: Spread the oat mixture evenly in a single layer inside the prepared basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 325°F and cook for 15 to 18 minutes. Stir the granola halfway through cooking to ensure even toasting. Cook until the granola turns a deep golden brown and you can smell the fragrant aroma of toasted nuts and cinnamon.
Finish and Cool: Once cooked, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios for added texture. Let the granola cool inside the air fryer basket for 15 to 20 minutes. As it cools, it will harden into clusters.
Store and Serve: Break the cooled granola into smaller pieces as desired. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy this crunchy, flavorful granola as a snack or with yogurt and fruit.

Notes

Use parchment paper or an air fryer liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Stirring halfway through cooking is crucial to avoid burning and ensure even toasting.
You can customize the nut mixture by substituting or adding other nuts like almonds or pecans.
Store the granola in an airtight container to maintain its crisp texture.
Perfect for breakfast with milk or yogurt, or as a crunchy topping for desserts.
