Pumpkin Buckwheat Granola

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Pumpkin Buckwheat Granola | Dietitian Debbie Dishes

Fall is officially here. Time to start putting pumpkin and roasted winter squash in everything. Am I right? This granola is a quintessential fall recipe. Pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger all marry together in a delightful granola that has a bit of extra crunch from the addition of buckwheat. Buckwheat was another one of my random bulk bin purchases a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t feeling like making it into a hot cereal and I had run out of granola so I tossed it in and hoped for the best. Just like quinoa, buckwheat turned out to be a fun, crunchy addition.

If you aren’t familiar with it, buckwheat is a seed that is actually not related to wheat but rhubarb and sorrel. Like most grains, it is relatively high in protein, iron, vitamin B6, and magnesium. If you purchase gluten-free oats, this recipe can be made gluten-free. Feel free to substitute other nuts for the walnuts and pumpkin seeds. Dried cranberries would also be a tasty addition! I have been eating this granola all weekend with either a chopped pear or apple and some plain yogurt for a satisfying breakfast.

    This looks so yummy! I’m finishing up a 10 week employee wellness program with 5 people I counseled – I told them about buckwheat during it so I will just have to make this and put it in fall goodie bags to congratulate them for finishing the program! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
