preview for Eat Dessert For Breakfast With This Air Fryer Baklava Granola

Granola is the ultimate salty-sweet and crunchy snack for any time of day. This version of the staple snack food has all of the flavors you’d find in a crispy and syrupy square of baklava—pistachios, walnuts, and plenty of sticky-sweet honey. It all comes together in an air fryer and takes a fraction of the time to cook than it would in an actual oven. In short, a quick and easy breakfast has never tasted so good.

Sprinkle it on a smoothie bowl for breakfast, grab a few handfuls for the mid-afternoon slump, or pile it on a bowl of your favorite sorbet for dessert. My favorite way to enjoy this air fryer baklava granola is on a bowl of yogurt with orange slices, pomegranate seeds, and an extra drizzle of honey.

Once the granola is completely cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
