Print Recipe
- 5 cups buckwheat
- 1 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup pistachios (preferably soaked and dried--substitute other nut or seed, if needed)
- 1 cup coconut (flaked, unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup cacao nibs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup orange juice (or use the juice of 1 orange)
- 2-3 tablespoons orange zest (about the zest of 1 orange)
Combine all ingredients in a baking pan and place it in an oven on low heat (approximately 200°F). After 45 minutes give it a good stir and check to see how crunchy the buckwheat is. If you are using sprouted buckwheat it may take up to four to six hours before it has fully dried out, but do check it frequently towards the end and stir the granola every so often to avoid burning.
Alternatively, spread the granola mix out on dehydrator sheets and dry at 125°F for approximately 10-12 hours until crisp.

Use soaked or sprouted buckwheat for optimal nutrition.
- You can use 1/8 teaspoon stevia instead of honey.
