Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve used a mix of nuts and dried cranberries for a bit of additional texture and flavor, but you can also play around with other toppings and mix-ins of your choice.
Chocolate chips and chocolate chunks, candied nuts and coconut flakes are all excellent choices. 
Your leftover Air Fryer breakfast cereal cookies can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerated for up to 5 days. I would recommend using an airtight container to preserve their freshness.
If the cookies have lost their texture, you can pop them in the Air Fryer again for a couple of minutes to get them to crisp up again. 
Tips & Tricks to Make the Air Fryer Breakfast Cereal Cookies
Ready to try these delicious breakfast cookies? Here are a few tips and tricks you might want to take note of.
- Remember to portion out the cookie mixture evenly, so that all the cookies are nearly the same size, and are cooked all the way through.
- Also make sure you leave a bit of space between each cookie to allow airflow through the basket. This will again, ensure even cooking of the cookies.
- Preheating the Air Fryer is another must as it creates the perfect environment for the cookies to start to bake.
- Based on your Air Fryer model and the size of your cookies, it may take anywhere between 10-15 minutes for them to cook perfectly. You may want to check the cookies at the 10 minute mark and then move on to further cooking if needed.
- You can use pretty much any breakfast cereal of your choice for this recipe, or even experiment with a mix of two different cereals.
- To bump up the protein content in these cookies, you can also add in a tablespoon of creamy or crunchy peanut butter into the mix.
- I haven’t used any additional sweetener in the recipe, but if you’re using unsweetened breakfast cereal, you might want to add some powdered sugar or a dash of honey or maple syrup to bring some sweetness into these cookies.
