Part brittle, part granola, it’s branola! Packing the power of sprouted buckwheat and nuts. It takes a little forethought to soak the ingredients overnight, but it’s definitely worth it for all those extra enzymes and nutrients. And because they’re sprouted, they’re easier to digest. And that’s great, because you’re probably gonna find yourself eating a lot of this.

Granola makes for an awesome snack, but so much of the stuff that comes pre-made is loaded with refined sugar and artificial sweeteners. This delicious granola brittle on the other hand is sweetened with fruit and raw honey, adding even more healthful enzymes to the mix. Apricots, bananas, dates and goji berries hold it all together and make for a super delicious snack.

With golden flax, nuts, and sprouted buckwheat, it’s is also a delightful way to load up on healthy your essential fatty acids. Whether you enjoy it as a brittle or as granola; for breakfast or for a nice afternoon snack, this banana nut branola will keep you smiling.

Add the sprouted buckwheat groats, pecans, almonds, apricots and goji to a large bowl.
Blend the bananas, dates, raw honey, golden flax, cinnamon, vanilla and celtic salt in a high speed blender til smooth and creamy.
Add blended mixture to large bowl and fold the ingredients together til nicely combined.
Spread the mixture into a thin sheet across two dehydrator trays and dehydrate** for 1 hour on 135F, then turn down to 115F for another 8-12 hours, flipping over midway, until completely crispy and dry. Dehydration times will vary dramatically depending on season, climate, altitude etc., so check on your Branola often and gage time accordingly and to your desired crisp level.
Break into rustic brittle sized shapes for easy grab-n-go or crumble into smaller granola sized pieces.
Store in a glass container in the fridge or freezer.

Calories: Fat: Carbs: Protein:

Note: If you don’t yet have a dehyrator, spread the mixture on two silpat or parchment covered baking sheets with oven on lowest temperature & oven door propped open an inch, flipping over midway, til thoroughly dry and crispy. Check on the granola often as the oven will still likely be much hotter than 135F & 115F and, therefore, the process may be much faster. Additionally, the product may not be truly raw as it would be using a deyhdrator.
