Ingredients
1
cup
raw buckwheat groats
3
Tablespoons
cocoa powder
5
Tablespoons
maple syrup
½
teaspoon
sea salt
1
teaspoon
vanilla
Instructions
Place buckwheat groats in a bowl and cover them with purified water (about 1-2 inches above the groats).
Let them soak overnight.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
Drain and rinse the groats.
Pat them dry with paper towels as best as you can (this can get a tad messy).
Mix them with the remaining ingredients until well combined.
Pour the mix onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Make sure to spread them out into an even layer.
Place the pan into the oven, and bake the cereal for three hours.
Remove the pan and break the granola into pieces. You will have to kind of peel the layer off of the parchment paper, but it will come off easily.
Bake the cereal for another 65-75 minutes.
Remove the pan and let the cereal cool (it will crisp as it cools).
