Ingredients
  • 3 cups oats
  • ⅔ cup buckwheat
  • ½ cup flour OR gluten free all purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 3 TBSP linseed
  • 1-2 TBSP hemp seed (if you don’t have use sunflower seeds)

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C and cook the lentils until just cooked (approx 5-10 minutes).
  2. Combine the oats, buckwheat, flour, 3 varieties of seeds, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the lentils once cooked and mix well.
  4. Melt the syrup and coconut oil together and pour into the mixing bowl and mix well till all ingredients are coated well.
  5. Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the granola onto the baking paper and level out to cover the tray evenly.
  6. Place in the oven for 8 minutes. Then remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes (don’t mix – this helps to make clumps).

  8. Finally cook for 4-5 minutes – watching so it doesn’t burn.
