Ingredients

Granola

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds

For Serving (1 Bowl)

  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries
  • 1/3 cup almond-buckwheat granola
  • Pure maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for toasting the granola ingredients evenly and to achieve a perfect crunch.
  2. Mix granola ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, pure maple syrup, kosher salt, buckwheat groats, ground cinnamon, and sliced almonds. Stir thoroughly to coat the buckwheat and almonds evenly with the wet ingredients and spices.
  3. Bake the granola: Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting and prevent burning. The granola should be golden and fragrant.
  4. Cool the granola: Remove the granola from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing it to crisp up further as it cools.
  5. Assemble the bowl: In a serving bowl, spoon 3/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt, then top with 1/2 cup of mixed berries, and sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cooled almond-buckwheat granola over the top.
  6. Finish with syrup: Drizzle pure maple syrup over the assembled bowl to taste for added sweetness, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For added crunch, you may lightly toast the sliced almonds separately before mixing.
  • Store any leftover granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Variations: Swap mixed berries for your favorite fruits such as chopped apples or peaches depending on seasonality.
  • Use gluten-free certified buckwheat groats if you require a gluten-free diet.
