This is a simple recipe using just 9 ingredients (but if your missing one or want to swap in around there’s no drama) Our recipes are here to inspire you but we encourage you to get creative and if you come up with a new version or have added a secret ingredient that adds some more gorgeousness let us know about it! - although it might not be so secret once shared.

Made with apple sauce and buckwheat this recipe has a lovely sweet crisp to it. I decided to use apple sauce for two reasons, firstly because apple and spice go lovely together and secondly because it's a great cheap sweetener now I'm a big fan of apple syrup but when you need to use larger quantities in a recipe things start getting quite costly!

What's great about this granola is that it's super tasty by its self but can also be used as toppings for a dessert or on a smoothie bowl.

Ingredients

2 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup of your chosen oil - coconut or olive recommended
3 tbsp of apple sauce
Pinch of salt
1 cup of buckwheat
1 cup of oats
1/2 mixed seeds or nuts of choice
1/2 desiccated coconut
2 tbsp Chai Blend

Method

Melt the peanut butter and oil just enough to be runny.
Add the apple sauce and stir.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl, Oats, Buckwheat, Chai blend, salt, seeds/nuts, and coconut.
Pour in the wet mixture and mix well, we suggest getting your hands stuck in and enjoying the gooeyness!
Spread the mixture on to a baking tray lined with baking paper - we had run out so didn’t bother.
Bake at the top of the oven on gas mark 4 for 20 mins.
