Ingredients

280 g nuts e.g. almonds, Brazils, pecans
240 g oats
300 g mixed seeds e.g. pumpkin and sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon optional
1 large handful of dried apricots or raisins if you prefer

Instructions

Roughly chop the nuts (or pulse in food processor for about 30 seconds).
Place the nuts in a large mixing bowl and stir in the oats and seeds.
In a small pan, on the hob, melt the coconut oil and stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon.
Once the coconut oil has melted, pour the oil and syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Place the mixture into your air fryer and bake at 170C for around 25 minutes. (I remove the rack first to make it easier to stir the mixture). Check and stir every 5 minutes to ensure everything cooks evenly. You can add an extra few minutes if needed to get a crunchy texture.
When the granola is toasted and crunchy, leave it to cool completely (you need it to be totally cool before storing so that it retains its crunch).
Chop the apricots into small pieces and stir through the granola mixture. Then store the granola in an airtight container where it will keep happily for several weeks.
