Author: Amanda Nicole Smith

Ingredients

  • 2 cups buckwheat groats; soaked and/or sprouted
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup blueberries; fresh
  • 1 cup cherries; fresh
  • 1 cup date paste = 1 cup dates + 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 vanilla ben or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Soak buckwheat groats the day before, for 8 hours. Rinse and drain.
  • Rinse and drain again the next day and there should already be little tails.
  • De-pit the dates and make the date paste by blending together dates and water.
  • In a mixing bowl mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Pour the mixture onto a dehydrator sheet and make a square.
  • Dehydrate at 165 degrees for 1 hour or until firm to touch.
  • Put a dehydrator tray on top and flip; no dehydrator sheet, and turn down the heat to 115 degrees.
  • About an hour later, cut the bars and separate them.
  • Dehydrate until completely dry and firm: Approximately 12-24 hours.

Notes

Store in an airtight container or bag for up to 1 week in a dry place.
Freeze if necessary.
Rolled oats are not raw vegan, it is very hard to come across oat groats that will sprout, but if you do happen upon them I would sprout them along with the buckwheat so it is completely raw.
