4 to 6 servings SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup almond butter
- 1⁄3 cup agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 small banana
- 1 tablespoon flax meal
- 1 1⁄2 cups dehydrated buckwheat groats
- 1 cup sliced or slivered almonds
- 1 cup dried shredded coconut
Directions
- Blend the almond butter, agave nectar, coconut oil, banana, and flax meal in a blender until smooth.
- Mix the buckwheat, almonds, and coconut in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands.
- Spread the raw-nola on a Teflex or parchment–lined dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at 115 degrees overnight (8 hours). Move the granola around a bit to break it up, and dehydrate for another 6 hours. Serve.Note: If you don't have a dehydrator, transfer the granola to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set the oven to 350 degrees and toast until it's lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to air dry until completely cool.Storage tip: Stored in a sealed container, the raw-nola will keep for up to 2 weeks. It will remain extra crispy if stored in the fridge.
