GrainFree Granola

March 12, 2014

A healthy, grain-free version of the breakfast classic. Full of healthy fats, fiber and usable carbs without the oats! Great for anyone with gluten intolerances or oat-intolerances.

2 cups buckwheat groats
1/4th cup dried apple chips/raisins/apricots/cranberries/currants *whatever you prefer!*
1 scoop vanilla protein (optional)
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4th cup walnut pieces
1/4th cup almond pieces
1/4th cup raw honey
1/4th cup apple sauce
tsp cinnamon
tsp nutmeg

Preheat your oven to 200 (this granola will take longer to bake, its more of a dehydrated granola than baked). Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking oil. Mix all your dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine your honey and applesauce or oil in a smaller bowl along with your spices. Now mix the two together until well covered. Spoon out your mixture onto your baking sheet and bake approximately 1 hour. Timing will depend on your oven so keep an eye on it. Also, I periodically mixed the granola on the pan so the edges wouldn’t burn. Remove and let cool. Enjoy by itself, in a bowl with milk/milk substitute, or top off your smoothie bowl like I did!
