Tahini and Maple Activated Buckwheat Granola

This granola has a delicious flavour and the best crunch and texture! It is made healthier with the addition of buckwheat, which is a seed, not a grain and therefore carries a lot of nutrition. Buckwheat helps promote weight loss and adds healthy fibre to your breakfast.
