Raw German Chocolate Breakfast Granola

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

2 cups raw buckwheat
1 1/2 cups dried large coconut flakes
2 cups raw walnuts, soaked for 6 hours and drained
1/4 cup raw coconut butter
1/2 cup date paste, or raw coconut nectar, or maple syrup (or more if you prefer sweeter)
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup filtered water
1 cup cacao nibs
1 cup dates, cut into pieces

Instructions

Soak buckwheat for 30 minutes, rinse very well (as it has a slimy coating that needs to be removed) and drain. If you wish to sprout, place in a large jar and set in a well lit area (natural light, but not in direct sunlight).

Let sit for a couple days, or until little sprouts begin to emerge from the buckwheat, rinsing 2 times a day.

If you do not wish to sprout, continue with the recipe.
Add the buckwheat to a large bow, along with the coconut, and walnuts. In a medium bowl, whisk together the date paste, coconut butter, cacao powder, sea salt, vanilla, and water. Pour the mixture over the granola, and mix well with your hands.

Spread out on 2 dehydrator sheets lined with teflex, and dry for about 12 hours or until crispy. Mix in cacao nibs and dates.

Can be stored in an airtight container for a few weeks at room temperature.
