Buckwheat Sesame Granola

I few weeks ago, I discovered this very good granola recipe. The most important thing I like about the recipe is the fact that you become real granola chunks. I love chunks in my yofu!

I've experienced a lot with making granola. I've made at least 15 different granola's, just by adding or leaving out some ingredients.

But my Buckwheat Granola with Sesame Seeds is the winner of my trial.

Adding buckwheat in granola is something I saw Kath doing. Buckwheat is so crunchy. So if you want to become a crunchy granola, just try buckwheat. It's a must!

1. Preheat oven to 150°C/300°F.
2. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.

3. Take another bowl and combine the wet ingredients.
4. Mix dry and wet ingredients until every oat, seed, nut, buckwheat is covered with the wet 'stuff'.
5. Pour the granola on the baking sheet and place it in the oven.
6. Bake for a final 35-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. The granola should become completely dry and golden brown.
