Ingredients

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, flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds into nut flour using a high speed blender.
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, including the rolled oats, rice krispies, 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 15 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Stir the granola in the air fryer once at the halfway mark.
Repeat the cooking process to cook the last half of the granola.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the applesauce and ground flax.
Add the oat flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to incorporate.
Add the coconut sugar, rolled oats and vanilla extract. Stir well to be sure the oats are well incorporated.
Pour the tahini in batter and stir well.
Add the chocolate chips and stir to ensure they are distributed well.
Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit in the air fryer basket. Cut a few holes to ensure airflow.
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out 6 cookies and press them down so they are flat.
Bake in a 350F air fryer for 6 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Be sure to use parchment paper or foil in the air fryer basket – the cookie dough will melt through the opening in the air fryer tray if you don’t have parchment paper or foil down. Some people say you can even bake them on the bottom tray but this doesn’t provide the same circulation of the heat above and below the cookies so I recommend using parchment paper or foil.
Make holes in the parchment paper and allow some air to flow on the sides. They do make parchment paper specifically for air fryers that have holes already if you don’t want to make your own holes in the parchment.
Cut your parchment paper based on how many cookies you will bake. I used parchment paper the size of the air fryer basket to make all 6 cookies but I would have used a smaller piece if I was only making 3-4 cookies. This is because the parchment needs to be weighed down by cookies when baking or can fly up and get stuck in the heating element if it’s too large for what you are cooking.

Notes

For an oil-free option, use extra soy sauce. Reader Amy said on Facebook, "I made this with extra soy sauce as you said and it was fantastic!!! We will be eating this in lots of different things because it's so versatile and yummy. Thanks so much for your work. It's recipes like this one that become a staple and let me know I can do this and really love it!"
About the marinade: Feel free to mix and match your marinade flavors! See the marinade section above for ideas. As long as you have 3-4 tablespoons of liquid in your marinade, it will work in this recipe.
Every air fryer is different. Because air fryers can vary so much by brand and style, keep an eye on it and be prepared to back off on cooking time or add a few minutes, if needed.
