Hemp Granola
You’ll love this hemp granola because it’s protein-packed, gluten-free, and has zero refined sugar added in. The crunchiness comes from the combination of nutty hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and buckwheat groats. This less sugar protein granola uses a little maple syrup as the natural sweetener. Top your morning yogurt , smoothie bowls or even ice cream with this protein-packed hemp heart granola for the easiest of mornings!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, (1 stick)(or coconut oil)
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup, (can use up to 1/2 cup)
- 1 tbsp Peanut butter, (or any nut/seed butter)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Raw buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Raw sunflower seeds
- 2 cups Hemp seeds
- 1.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a small pot over low-medium heat add the butter and allow it to melt. Once it has fully melted, stir in the maple syrup, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine, and set aside.
- In a 9"x13" glass baking dish, combine the buckwheat, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon and sea salt. Pour the butter mixture in and stir to fully coat the dry ingredients. You can also mix this in a large bowl before pouring into the pan. Spread into an even layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stir the granola, then bake for another 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, stir the granola. It should be less wet and beginning to get a golden color around the edges. Stir in the shredded coconut and bake for 5 more minutes.
- After 5 minutes remove from the oven and allow to fully cool before storing and storing in an air tight container at room tempterature. Waiting to stir until the granola has chilled gives you better granola clusters.

Notes
If your granola seems wet still after the total of 40 minutes baking (oven temp can vary), continue to bake in 5 minute increments until the granola is no longer wet.
