Ingredients: - 3 cups / 300g rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)  - 1 cup / 200g buckwheat - 1 1⁄2 cups / 65g coconut flakes - 1 cup /125g walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds - 1/4 cup / 30g chia seeds + 1⁄4 cup / 60ml water  - 1/2 tsp.  fine grain sea salt - 1/4 cup / 35g coconut sugar - 1/3 cup / 85ml honey or maple syrup = 1/3 cup / 85ml coconut oil = 1 tsp. vanilla extract - 1/2 cup / 60g cocoa powder (organic, fair-trade if possible)  - 1/2 cup dried apricots (unsulfured, if possible)  Special Equipment: - standard baking equipment  - oven - small saucepan  Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°F. 2. Combine chia seeds and water together and mix well. Set aside to gel (this takes 10-15 minutes). 3. In a large bowl combine oats, buckwheat, coconut flakes, and coconut sugar. Roughly chop nuts and add them to the mix. 4. In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, melt coconut oil. Add honey or maple syrup, vanilla, salt, cocoa powder and chia gel. Whisk to combine until smooth. 5. Pour liquid ingredients over dry and fold coat. 6. Spread mixture out in an even layer on a lined baking sheet and press firmly with the back of a spatula to ensure that the mixture is compact. Bake for 15-20 minutes.  7. Remove from oven, flip granola in large chunks, and place back in oven to bake for another 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes until toasted and fragrant. The dark color of the granola makes it hard to tell if it is cooked or not, so go by smell. Another good way to test it is by tasting a hazelnut, which takes the longest to cook – it should taste nutty and pleasantly roasted. 8. Roughly chop apricots and add them to the granola once it has cooled. Transfer all of the granola to a large glass container with an airtight lid. Store granola at room temperature for up to one month..  Sarah Britton (BFA, CNP) is a Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Nutritional Practitioner.
