Cacao Granola - "Just like a chocolate milkshake, only heeeee-althy!"
This granola is pretty much my new favourite thing. It's crunchy and chocolatey
and so freaking delicious.
Eat it like cereal, in a bowl with almond or coconut milk.
Eat it as a crumble on top of something else.
Eat it by the handful standing in the kitchen when no-one is looking... What?!

4 cups of any combination of: Activated buckwheat groats Puffed buckwheat/quinoa Shredded or desiccated coconut Chopped or flaked nuts
3/4 cup cacao powder 1/2 cup ground flaxseed 1/4 teaspoon rock salt
6 tablespoons of coconut oil 1/4 cup rice malt syrup

Pre-heat oven to 150 C
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl
Melt rice malt syrup and coconut oil together
Add to dry ingredients and mix well

If it seems like it needs a bit more oil, spray lightly with olive or coconut oil.
It will crisp up as it cools so don't over cook it.
