Ingredients
Homemade Granola
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats gluten-free
- ½ cup buckwheat groats 1 cup cooked and cooled
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup coconut flakes
- ¼ cup chia seeds
- ¼ cup dried dates chopped
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves optional
Granola Bowl
- 1 cup vegan greek yogurt (or dairy yorgurt)
- ¼ cup blueberries
Suggested toppings
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional
- mint leaves chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Buckwheat: Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water. Then bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add the buckwheat, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water and let the buckwheat cool completely.
- Preheat The Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make Your Homemade Granola: In a large bowl, mix the granola ingredients along with the cooked buckwheat, then mix well until evenly combined.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet. Gently press your spoon into the granola to help get an even bake.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Let the granola cool completely before breaking it into clusters.
- Assemble the Granola Bowl: Into a serving bowl, add ½ cup of yogurt (or milk) as the base. Sprinkle a generous amount of the granola into the bowl, then add your selected toppings. Garnish with some fresh mint and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- Serve immediately for a refreshing, protein-packed breakfast or snack.

Notes
- Storage: Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag or container for up to three months.
- Main Recipe Tip: For extra crunch, press the granola mixture firmly onto the baking sheet before baking and let it cool completely on the sheet.
