I really wanted to create a semi-raw treat using activated organic buckwheat,

See my article Buckwheat Health Benefits & Facts. Everything You Wanted To Know About Buckwheat.

Activated toasted buckwheat groats also known as Buckinis and have a  light and crunchy texture. To learn how to make activated Buckinis see here.

When you mix the  toasted buckinis in with a combo of organic mixed seeds, cacao nibs, dark chocolate and goji berries in a base of raw tahini, coconut syrup and rice bran syrup, the results are a delicious, chewy yet crunchy treat that even your kids will love.

Ingredients – All organic if possible

1.5 cups of activated buckinis

4 tbsp Rice Bran Syrup ( I use only the Pure Harvest brand as I know they test all their rice products for arsenic – see arsenic in rice problem)

4 tbsp of raw cold-pressed Coconut Oil

1 tbsp of Coconut Syrup

1 tbsp of Raw Tahini

1/4 tsp of Himalayan Pink Salt

1/2 cup of Desiccated Coconut

1/4 cup of Pepitas

1/4 cup of Goji Berries

2 tbsp of Sesame Seeds

1 tsp Poppy Seeds

1 tsp Cinnamon Powder

2 tsp of sweetened Cacao Nibs – my preferred brand is Power Super Foods

I also add 2 tsp of tiny organic Peruvian Dark Chocolate buds that I get from Terra Madre in Northcote Melbourne.

Method

In a small glass or stainless steel bowl add all your dry ingredients and stir thoroughly to combine and coat with cinnamon powder.

In a very small stainless steel saucepan heat the rice bran syrup till it just begins to boil, then turn off the heat and add in the salt and stir to dissolved. Next stir in the coconut oil and tahini paste until you have a smooth thick syrup.

Now pour syrup into the dry ingredients and mix through evenly till all ingredients are coated with the syrup.

Spoon into small eco-friendly, unbleached cupcake pans – I use the IF YOU CARE brand and pop into a tupperware container to set in the fridge for at least a few hours.

Store in fridge in an airtight container and consume within a few days.
