I have been
dying to share this recipe with you for over a year. I didn't want to share it without a beautiful photo to accompany it, so I've been sitting on my hands waiting patiently. This granola recipe has become our all-time favorite at my house. It's definitely kicked up my granola game from ho-hum to home-run.
This granola has even become a go-to gift of mine for those people that continually stump me. I simply bake a big batch, then pack the granola into mason jars and tie a pretty ribbon around the lid. Easy as that, I had a thoughtful, homemade gift.
Not only is this recipe easy to prepare, it's absolutely wonderful with crunchy, sweet granola clusters, chewy fruit, nuts, and coconut. The buckwheat really brings something special to this granola. It's an unusual ingredient, has a wonderfully earthy flavor, and packs a nutritional punch. This granola makes a great breakfast with milk or yogurt, a delicious snack, and a stellar dessert when served over some vanilla ice cream. Honestly, we can't get enough of it at our house. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
