Buckwheat granola

This gluten free granola with buckwheat and oats will give you the perfect amount of crunchy for all your breakfast bowls!

Store bought granola can be secretly unhealthy with tons of sugar and very little fiber! A healthy breakfast granola should be the exact opposite! Try gluten free granola with buckwheat and oats! This granola is also rich in nuts & seeds with plenty of healthy fats.

You have to try this super nutritious, energy-boosting granola! I usually use this recipe as my base and many times change the seeds or nuts or even the spices to have some variation. :)

The creamy white stuff in the bowl is a magical thing called graviola. Also know as Soursop, Guanabana, Corossol and Brazilian paw paw. It's a Brazilian superfruit from the amazon! Graviola has unique nutritional properties that strengthens the immune system and calms down the nervous system. It is also said to have mood elevating properties!
