<\/p>\n There\u2019s a new sweet snack on the block and it\u2019s stealing our hearts! This crunchy, maple-infused buckwheat<\/em> granola is nutty, perfectly sweet, and totally oat-free (we see you, oat-free friends!).\u00a0Oh, and accidentally oil-free, too!<\/p>\n This new twist has all the snackable perfection you know and love about the classic but with an epic flavor duo: cherry + almond. Just 9 ingredients<\/strong> and 30 minutes<\/strong> required! Let us show you how it\u2019s done!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This buckwheat granola<\/strong> starts with a sweet, rich, salty combination of maple syrup, almond butter, salt, and cinnamon. Then we add one of our two leading ladies: almond extract (*round of<\/em> applause<\/em>*). We love<\/strong> the combo of almond and buckwheat, but if you\u2019re not a fan of almond extract, you can use vanilla instead! <\/p>\n Then it\u2019s time for all the goodies<\/strong>! Toasty buckwheat groats (our other leading lady, welcome<\/em>) combine with sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and chia seeds. The perfect balance of crunchy, sweet, nutty, and wholesome<\/strong>. Come to mama! <\/p>\n After mixing, we spread the granola out into a single layer and bake, creating a super hunky, CHUNKY<\/strong> result. After baking, dried cherries (or another dried fruit of choice) are added for tart-sweet goodness. Done and dusted! <\/p>\n We can\u2019t wait for you to try this granola! It\u2019s:<\/p>\n Crunchy Enjoy it on its own, or with your milk<\/a> or yogurt<\/a> of choice. Handfuls straight to the face are also welcome and encouraged.<\/p>\n If you try this recipe, let us know!
