I’m a huge fan of raw buckwheat groats, soaked and dehydrated! In fact, what you described is pretty much my daily breakfast. I go back and forth with yogurt/kefir…sometimes I can’t get enough and sometimes I use banana milk instead 🙂

Thanks for posting this great idea! I used to have musli with either súrmjólk (similar to buttermilk) or kefir for breakfast every day. Now that I am off oats, my homemade musli is not an option (although I found some spelt musli when I was in Iceland, I want to get some spelt flakes so I can make my own). This is a similar concept.
By the way, my kefir has become so excellent, it has gotten acclimated just fine and sometimes I just drink it with toast for breakfast. Thanks again for sending me the grains! 🙂

Michelle – What a good breakfast! I eat this for breakfast, too, sometimes. It makes a meal for me, but my family usually wants more than this. 🙂
Rebecca – I’m glad to hear the grains are working so well for you. Kefir is such an amazingly beneficial, and fabulously simple food to keep going. It has changed our kitchen! I have never seen spelt flakes available – where would you get them?
Sarah – Oh, yumm! I especially love pureed fruits or a fruit relish in my kefir. Around Thanksgiving, when I made my mom’s relish (cranberries, oranges and apples) we ate it in our kefir quite a bit.

We had a friend over for lunch today and I made this for dessert. She was impressed and couldn’t believe how good it tasted! It really hit the spot today, too. My granola wasn’t raw…I don’t have a dehydrator yet unfortunately! But it was amazing yummy!
I’m not sure how to soak and dehydrate oats. Please explain!
Hi, Julie,
Here is a basic recipe for soaked and dehydrated oats. Enjoy!
