Ingredients
-
1 cup raw buckwheat groats, raw
-
1/2 cup whole unblanched almonds, raw (optional)
- 3 T raw honey
- 2 T unrefined coconut oil
- 1/2 t vanilla
- Sea salt
- 1/2 cup chopped Basic Dark Chocolate
Directions:
Soak the buckwheat overnight in plenty of water. Then, rinse it until it is no longer slimy. Set it in a bowl. At the same time, soak the almonds overnight, rinse them, and chop them coarsely. Add both to a large bowl.
Stir the honey and coconut oil (melted) together until mixed, then add the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Pour the mix over the buckwheat/almonds, and stir them well to coat.
Spread the granola over a mesh dehydrator sheet, and dehydrate overnight at 115 degrees until completely dry and crisp.
Once dry and cool, toss the granola with the chopped dark chocolate, and transfer to a bowl n the fridge. Enjoy with nut milk for a great breakfast, or decadent afternoon snack.
