Instructions
For the granola:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, buckwheat groats, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, salt, and walnuts.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Give it a stir to ensure that the dry ingredients are coated with the liquid mixture as much as possible.
- Spread the granola evenly in the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a ramekin or a mug, press to compress until it is compact.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- At the end of 15 minutes, remove it out of the oven. Using a large spatula, flip it over in large sections. Place it back in the oven.
- Repeat the same process 3-4 times every 5 minutes, making smaller chunks each time. *1
- Let the granola cool completely without touching it. *2
For the almond milk:
- Meanwhile, place the almond milk, cocoa powder, and medjool dates in a blender. Blend until combined.
- When ready to serve, place chunks of granola in a bowl, pour some chocolate almond milk over it, and if preferred top it off with some sliced bananas and hemp seeds.
