Ingredients

90 g rolled oats (1 cup)
65 ml maple syrup (¼ cup)
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
30 g walnut halves (¼ cup)
30 g pecans (¼ cup)
30 g almond flakes (¼ cup)
30 g mixed dried fruit (¼ cup, I used dried sultanas, raisins, currants and cranberries)
30 g sunflower and pumpkin seeds (¼ cup)
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

Add the roughly-chopped walnuts and pecans, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, rolled oats and almond flakes to a large bowl.
Mix everything well, then add the pumpkin spice, maple syrup and oil, and mix again.
Spread the mixture over the bottom of an air fryer drawer in an even layer, and air fry for 20 minutes at 140 degrees Celsius (284 Fahrenheit), shaking the drawer well half the way through.
Add the dried fruit, mix well, and air fryer for a further 10 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the air fryer, spread it over a large baking tray, and allow it to cool down completely to crisp up.
Store in an air-tight container.

Notes

the granola won't feel crunchy as soon as it comes out of the air fryer, but don't worry, it will, as soon as it cools down completely
avoid adding the dried fruit to the air fryer from the beginning, it will burn and turn bitter
once the granola has cooled down, add it to an air-tight container, I prefer a jar, it keeps well for 2-3 weeks
