Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup buckwheat groats (soaked)
  • 2 bananas (ripe)
  • 3 Tbsp cocoa (or cacao powder)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Process for a minute or two until very creamy. Fold into the buckwheat groats.
  4. 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.
  5. They don’t seem to get brittle dry, but stay a little bit pliable.
  6. 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.
