Equipment
- 1 Vitamix blender
- 1 air fryer 9 quart Beautiful Air Fryer by Drew Berrymore
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup rice crispies
- ¼ cup coconut
- ⅓ cup hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp flax seeds
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup dates
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Pre-soak dates in half a cup of water and let it sit for 1 hour to help with blending the dates into a paste. Once soaked blend the dates with water in a high-speed blender to make the date paste.
- Grind the hemp and flax into nut flour using a high speed blender or nut and seed grinder.
- In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, including the rolled oats, rice crispies, shredded coconut, blended seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir with a spoon.
- Coat the dry granola ingredients with the blended date paste.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Once ready, place half the granola mixture on parchment paper lining the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 50 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Check and stir the granola in the air fryer a few times to ensure even cooking.
- Depending on the air fryer used and the size you the cooking time may vary as cooking in smaller batches in a thin layer will cook faster. I cooked it in one big batch but because it is a bit of a thicker layer it takes longer to air fry and crisp up. This same recipe cooked way quicker in a prewarmed Gourmia air fryer when cooked in 2 batches versus the Beautiful air fryer cooked in one batch.
