Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked buckwheat groats, rinsed
- 1 large cooked sweet potato (about 1¼-1½ cups mashed)
- 1-2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon or more to taste
- 2-3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or more to taste
- 8-12 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250F
- In a sauce pan, bring 1½ cups water to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and add the uncooked buckwheat groats. Cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes or until soft.
- Add the cooked buckwheat and sweet potato to a large mixing bowl. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash together until well combined. Add the pumpkin pie spice and the cinnamon, and continue mashing together.
- Add 8-12 cups of rolled oats and stir until the mixture is well combined and forms clumps. For clumpier granola, use 8 cups oats. For smaller granola consistency, use 12 cups oats.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicon mat. Spread the granola on the cookie sheets. Bake for 2½ hours.
- Allow the granola to cool completely. Store the granola in an airtight container or in reusable bags at room temperature for one to two weeks. The granola can also be frozen for longer storage.
