Buckwheat Bark<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Okay, these crunchy little snacks are simply delicious; actually, they are addictive! I have made them with buckwheat, quinoa and millet. All variations are good. Use what you have on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, mix and match whatever nuts and seeds you have. The batch pictured above is made with buckwheat and has a mix of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts and pistachios. Oh yum!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a little cinnamon and cloves along with some chopped cranberries for a holiday version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bark will be crunchy once cooled. Stored in the fridge, it is nice and firm and crunchy. You won’t want to put it back in the fridge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd cup buckwheat, quinoa or millet
\u00bc cup quick oats, or whole oats, coarsely chopped
\u00be cup coarsely chopped nuts and seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons sugar\u00a0
2 tablespoons coconut oil\u00a0
\u00bd cup maple syrup
\u00bd teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of sea salt, optional<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Preheat oven to 325\u00b0<\/li>
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, covering entire surface.<\/li>
  3. Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl.<\/li>
  4. Combine maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil in measuring cup. Heat slightly in microwave to melt coconut oil. Stir to dissolve sugar.<\/li>
  5. Pour maple syrup mixture into dry ingredients; stir to mix well. Spread mixture evenly over parchment paper.<\/li>
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bubbly. Turn pan around halfway through if oven heat is not even. Should be bubbly over entire surface.<\/li>
  7. Allow to cool completely before breaking into pieces.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
