Ingredients 

  • 1 and ½ cups raw buckwheat groats soaked overnight in 500 ml water and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup rolled-oats gluten-free if required
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ¾ cup pecans
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 3 tbsp / ¼ cup raw cacao
  • 3 tbsp / ¼ cup coconut syrup or maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp / ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon raw or coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp / ¼ cup cacao nibs or dairy-free chocolate buds
  • cup dried cherries 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees C and line a large roasting or baking tray with baking paper.
  • Drain and rinse the buckwheat groats and place in a large mixing bowl.
  • Place the oats, sunflower seeds, pecans, cacao, sugar and coconut in a food processor and pulse briefly  to combine. 
  • Add the mixture to the buckwheat and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil and coconut or maple syrup together, whisking. 
  • When fully melted and combined, carefully add the mixture to the buckwheat and stir through to coat the granola evenly. 
  • Spread the mix out on to the baking tray and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and gently turn the granola with a spatula or spoon.
  • Return to the oven for another 20 minutes before removing.
  • Stir through the cacao nibs or chocolate and the dried cherries and allow the granola to cool completely. The mixture will crunch up as it cools.
  • Serve with almond milk or with coconut yoghurt and cherries.
