Kandace's Thoughts

By kandace

This is quite a filling breakfast. I like to eat this granola with bananas and almond milk. It is also ideal for travel.

I made this, which by the way was sooo good, and I sent some home to my family. They loved it so much...maybe even more than SAD granola.

Hello simplylife, Just wanted to mention that buckweat groats should not be soaked more than 10-20 minutes ( but they can be sprouted after that) because they loose their nutrients in the water if you leave them longer.I was told this by the guy working at my organic coop.I backed it up by sproutpeople dot com enjoy your breakfast!

i wonder if i can use groats to replace a lot of the nuts that so many recipes call for ? You think? Maybe i could soak and dry and then grind them into a powder... just thinking out loud. what do you guys think?

I had a bowl of sliced apples, strawberries, bananas, raisins with cinnamon to spice in almond milk... best breakfast ever!

I'm not familiar with Buckwheat, is it a kind of grain? is it relatively easy to find? (im in CA)

I'm not sure if crunchy is the right word, but it definitely shouldn't be soft.

I made this today.. and had it in the dehydrator for nearly 10 hours and it wasn't anywhere near crunchy.. but it was still very delicious. I just realized that this recipe might not be intending to be crunchy. heh.

Goji Berries are a great idea! Lately, I've been adding Goji Berries, banana and berries. Yum.

This is a great recipe. I changing the water is great. RInce the buckwheat well to remove the starchiness. I have also swapped out and added vanilla bean to agave (to taste), blend then add+stir and dehydrate. When I am traveling which is a lot, I later add Goji Berries, dried Bing cherries... or your choice of dried fruit YUMMMMY
