Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted pumpkin seeds
  • ⅔ cup chopped pecans
  • ⅓ cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup diced pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes to ensure even toasting.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry and wet ingredients. Stir well until every ingredient is fully coated and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Spread mixture in air fryer: Transfer the mixed ingredients into the air fryer basket, spreading it out into an even, flat layer to promote consistent cooking.
  4. Cook and stir: Air fry the mixture for 3 minutes initially. Then, remove and stir thoroughly to redistribute the cereal, and cook for another 2 minutes to achieve a perfect crunch.
  5. Cool the cereal: Remove the basket and allow the cereal to cool completely for about 10 minutes. This helps it crisp up further and makes it easier to crumble.
  6. Store properly: Once cooled, crumble the cereal as desired and store it in an airtight container. It remains fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Use unsalted nuts and seeds to control sodium levels.
  • For a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup.
  • Store the cereal in a cool, dry place to maintain its crunch.
  • Adjust pumpkin pie spice quantity to taste for more or less warmth.
