• 1 cup raw buckwheat groats, soaked 2-4 hours
• 1 cup pecans, soaked 4-6 hours
• 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, soaked 4-6 hours
• 1/3 cup sunflower seeds, soaked 4-6 hours

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pinches himalayan salt
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
• 2-4 medjool dates, chopped small

Instructions

1. Rinse the buckwheat really well after soaking it, until the water runs clear (important or it will taste bad).

2. Drain and rinse the nuts and seeds.

3. Roughly chop the pecans.

4. Toss all ingredients together, adding the coconut oil last.

5. Spread the granola on 2 teflex lined dehydrator sheets. Dehydrate at 145F for 1 hour and then 115F for 30 hours, or until dry and crunchy.
