Hey there!
Banana Buckwheat Granola
Or should I say good morning? Well it is morning here and I actually just had breakfast. In fact I had an acai bowl with my oh-so-delicious banana buckwheat granola I made recently. And then I remembered, oh s*** I gotta upload the recipe to this asap. So many of you have asked me to upload it and I just haven`t done it yet.
Banana Buckwheat Granola
Anywayy let me tell you a bit about this granola. So I friggin adore banana chips, they’re soooo good. So I thought to myself, why not add them to a granola, I mean crunchy banana granola, sound amazing, am I right or am I right? Buckwheat is another thing I love and as I just recently spotted puffed brown rice at the supermarket I decided to keep this completely gluten-free and only use buckwheat and puffed rice as my base. To add even more chrunch and flavour I also threw in a good serving of chopped walnuts and tadaaaa the best granola ever was created! Ok I know I say that every time but it is actually really really good! By the way here are some other granola recipes I have posted:

*In case puffed rice isn’t available where you live, you can use any other puffed grain. E.g. puffed quinoa, puffed spelt etc. And in case you are allergic to nuts just substitute the walnuts with any kind of seed you like, e.g- pumpkin seed. Just thought I’d mention thar as I know that there are quite a few people with nut allergies out there.

So that’s it, let’s get baking.
- 200g buckwheat groats
- 30g puffed rice*
- 50g banana chips
- 50g walnuts*
- a dash of vanilla
- 1 tbs coconut oil
- ½ banana
- 1 tbs agave
- Preheat oven to 130°C.
- Roughly chop up the walnuts. Add the banana chips into a freezer bag and crush them by beating it with a rolling pin. Add the crushed banana chips, the chopped walnuts, buckwheat groats and the puffed rice into a large mixing bowl. For the liquid ingredients add the banana, agave, coconut oil and the vanilla into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the granola mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread to a bout 1cm thickness. Bake for 20 minutes and let granola cool completely when it has finished baking. Then break it up into clusters and enjoy it with either soy or nut milk, on top of a smoothie bowl or just eat it as is as a little crunchy snack.
Have a wonderful day!
Bisous,
Well it’s sort of mid-morning right now, but no excuses! Granola time 🙂 this looks wonderful! I could just gobble it all up from the tray!
Thank you!! Hehe true it’s always granola time. Actually granola is my fave late night snack 😀
Banana chips are DA BOMB and ever since I experimented with them over a year ago, I always included buckwheat and puffed rice in my granolas…such a crunchy combo!
Yeeeeesss banana chips are sooo good!! and buckwheat is definitely also a staple in my kitchen, it just makes granola sooo crunchy 🙂
Oh I love homemade granola! Just yesterday I made a new creation with cacao powder. It looks like it’s burned 😀 but it’s super tasty!

The constant efforts
Same, me too. Well I hope it doesn’t taste burnt. It’s just super importnat to not turn your oven on too high when making granola..
