Spiced Chocolate Buckwheat Granola
I decided to add some raw cacao to the mix today for a delicious chocolate hit. You only need 1/4 cup to coat everything and make it taste chocolaty.
Buckwheat is naturally gluten free and these crunchy groats make the perfect base for granola. Plus I’ve added in lots of healthy extras; chia, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, toasted coconut flakes and crunchy almonds. The lovely warming spices – all spice, ginger and cinnamon adds a delicious seasonal twist.
This delicious granola would be amazing with some coconut yogurt or sprinkled on top of muesli or porridge.
