Buckwheat Granola

My recipe for granola is a favorite in the cafe where I work. It is served with poached fruit and a vanilla panacotta, at home we have it with naturally sweetened strawberry yogurt and almond milk. I love starting my day with this meal as it’s super quick, super healthy it’s punched full of great nutrients and keeps me going till mid morning snack. Change things up and use different nuts and seeds, try using cacao powder in the roasting stage or orange zest, it’s really easy to get creative with granola!
