Buckwheat Granola is super crunchy, chocolatey and delicious. It is made with ingredients like nuts, seeds, dried fruit and pure maple syrup!
Why you'll love Buckwheat Granola:
- Meal prep it - Enjoy this granola for up to two weeks! (If it lasts that long.)
- Healthier - Most store-bought granolas contain unnecessary ingredients.
- Low sugar - 3 grams of sugar per serving!
- Serve it with... yogurt bowls, smoothie bowls, cottage cheese bowls or oatmeal bowls!
Ingredients overview:
- buckwheat groats - You can purchase buckwheat groats at any major grocery store or directly on Amazon.
- pure maple syrup - For sweetness. I don't recommend using honey because it will burn faster.
- egg whites - The protein in the egg whites help the oats bind together. Also, when the egg whites cook, the granola becomes crunchier.
Substitution ideas:
- If you don't have buckwheat groats, you can substitute your favorite chopped nut. I recommend using buckwheat groats though. They offer a puffed crispy texture.
- Switch hemp seeds out for unsweetened shredded coconut.
- Swap chopped pecans for hazelnuts for a chocolate hazelnut granola.
- Use your favorite dried fruit in place of dried mulberries.
Storage directions:
- Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to two weeks.
- You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.

How often should I stir the granola while it’s baking?
Don't stir it around a lot, only if it's browning too much.
