Notes

Tip from my kitchen: stored in an airtight jar the granola stays lovely and crunchy for 3 to 4 weeks. Don't stir it while baking so you get big clusters, and fold in the chocolate drops only once it has cooled completely, otherwise they melt. If you don't have buckwheat, just swap it for extra almonds or a handful of sunflower seeds.
