Sometimes, you gotta treat yourself to chocolate for breakfast. What’s truly amazing is that this delicious, homemade raw and vegan version of coco puffs is way cheaper than buying the grocery store cereal! Buckwheat groats give you that satisfying crunch you might remember from crisped rice in store-bought chocolate bars. A great breakfast to give you a boost of energy (and chocolate!) first thing in the morning.

Rinse one cup buckwheat groats and then soak in about two cups water for 5-6 hours or overnight. Rinse the buckwheat groats well. There will be a gooey or gelatinous coating on the groats and and they will need to be rinsed several times.
Once rinsed, drain well and pat with a towel to remove most of the water.In a food processor with the S blade, add the banana, cocoa or cacao powder, vanilla and salt.
Process for a minute or two until very creamy. Fold into the buckwheat groats.
Then spread the mixture in clusters about 1/4 inch thick on the teflex or plastic sheets in a dehydrator. Dehydrate for about 4 hours, then turn over and dehydrate for another 2-3 hours, until the clusters are dry but pliable.
They don’t seem to get brittle dry, but stay a little bit pliable.
Break up into smaller clumps. These can then be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. Serve with 1/2 cup almond milk.

I am 60 years old and a lifelong sugar addict. After receiving the first issue of Raw Food Magazine I promptly made all 7 dessert recipes included. Thank you Raw Food Magazine–I have renewed hope I can be a reformed into a raw chocolaholic!

Raw Food Magazine has been a blessing, motivating me to eat raw despite the hectic nature of having a baby! The best part is I am getting sleep and I have more energy. Thanks, for the help!

Since switching to 80% raw I have way more energy to play with my grandson. I’ve been thinking about incorporating more raw for a long time, and the first issue of Raw Food Magazine really helped me take the leap–thank you.
Theresa Powers
I’m pretty stoked about this magazine. Its awesome to see a publication out there spreading positive info about health and nutrition. There are a lot of misconceptions out there. I’m raw, and an ultrarunner, and I feel pretty darn good about it.
