Coconut Buckwheat Granola
(gluten-free)

My granola game changed when I raided the bulk bins at the grocery store and found buckwheat.

Buckwheat are cute little grain-like seeds, except they’re not a grain at all! They’re actually a fruit seed (?!).  And if you’re gluten-sensitive, buckwheat is 100% gluten-free.

I have completely eliminated the traditional oats from this Coconut Buckwheat Granola – the main components here are buckwheat groats and coconut flakes.

I’ve used coconut oil to contribute to the yummy coconutty aroma, but any oil would work. The granola is mildly sweetened with a drizzle of maple syrup, but feel free to substitute honey or nix sweetener completely.

Give this Coconut Buckwheat Granola a try! It’s a refreshing change from an oat-based granola – I can’t get enough of the crunch!
