Crunchy, perfectly sweet maple almond granola made with buckwheat! A delicious oat-free twist on classic, snackable granola. Just 9 ingredients required!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (162 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To a large mixing bowl add the maple syrup, almond butter, salt, cinnamon, and almond extract and whisk until well combined. Add the buckwheat groats, almonds, coconut flakes, and chia seeds. Mix well with a spatula or spoon.
Transfer the granola to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and toss. It might seem quite moist and soft; this is normal! Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until dark golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before adding the dried fruit (optional) and serving.
Enjoy with dairy-free milk or yogurt of choice! Leftovers keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week at room temperature, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
