Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • 1.5 cups pecans
  • 3/4 cup raw pepitas pumpkin seeds
  • 3/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 heaped tablespoons smooth peanut butter 100% peanuts
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 130°C (265°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, buckwheat groats, chopped pecans, pepitas, desiccated coconut, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until well combined and smooth.
  • Pour the warm wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet mixture.
  • Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking tray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1.5 hours, do not stir the mix as you want to create clusters. The granola should be a deep golden brown.
  • Once done, remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking tray. It will crisp up as it cools to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, break the granola into clusters and store it in a clean, airtight container. It can be stored for up to a month.
