Triple Nuts (Pecans, Walnuts, Peanuts) Granola Bar Using Airfryer
I was thinking of bringing something for my department retreat, and knew that it had to be convenient and bite-sized with no crumbs. Something healthy would be great too, as a few of my colleagues were older and more health-conscious. I rummaged through my fridge and found different types of nuts. Nuts cakes? Nuts cookies? And the little lightbulb suddenly appeared - granola bars with nuts!
I hence made these Triple Nuts (Pecans, Walnuts and Peanuts) Granola Bars with Raisins and Chocolate Chips - using the good old airfryer. It was a really yummy snack full of nutritious homemade goodness! Best of all, they were so easy to bake. And of course, they were so easy to hold over the board games we were playing that day.
I am glad that my colleagues didn't mind that they looked quite ugly as all the ingredients were either brown or black-coloured, but I would recommend that you add some cranberries to make them more visually appealing - especially for children.
Below is my recipe using the airfryer. Feel free to modify it using whatever ingredients you have in your kitchen. They are so handy as breakfast takeaways, mealtime snacks or for even picnics, so have fun!! :)

4. Preheat airfryer at 160 degrees for 5 min. Line the baking pan with parchment paper.
