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).
