Apple and Granola Buckwheat
- 3 cups of sprouted buckwheat
- 1 cup of pitted soaked dates
- 2 apples
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Squeeze of lime
Soak your buckwheat overnight. Rinse and drain. Spread out on a flat container to sprout. Leave for 12 hours, shaking a couple of times during that time. Your buckwheat will develop a small tail.
Make sure all stones are removed from your dates. Place them in a food processor and use an S blade to process until your dates turn into a paste.
Chop/ grate your apples finely by hand or use the food processor.
Combine buckwheat apples and dates and add your spices. I’ve suggested lime and cinnamon. You can add salt or maple syrup if you would like something sweeter. Alter to taste.
Place all ingredients on a tray and place in a dehydrator, if you have one, overnight. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can dry out your Granola overnight using the lowest setting of your oven. Your end product granola should be crunchy but not overly dry. Store your Granola in an airtight container.
