This yummy, crunchy brittle can be used as a sweet treat and no one will even think it's healthy. It really satisfies the crunchy craving too. Despite its name, buckwheat isn't wheat and is gluten-free.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups raw buckwheat groats
  • 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar (or other granulated sugar of choice)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 tbsp peanut butter or sunflower seed butter or almond
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, mix the wet ingredients until combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are thoroughly coated.
  2. Spread the granola onto a baking sheet in a uniform layer. Bake at 300 F for 30 minutes, roughly flip the granola, and bake for another 18-20 minutes, watching it closely so it doesn't burn. The brittle will harden during the cooling process.
