Crunchy Buckwheaties with Cocoa (GF) - with photo

Ok - Thanks - I did read that but thought you meant just the sprouted buckwheat without the cocoa - but cool!

Made it yesterday and it's all gone today!  I think it's great sprinkled on top of porridge.

Good Idea Nay-nay. I'm glad you like it

Hi Tebasile.  Two of my friends that I swap raw recipes with have tried this recipe with the same result.

I wondered if something was missing from the recipe or it was our taste buds - since Nay-Nay's seems to have worked a treat.  Both friends ended up with the same taste and texture and they are both particular about following a recipe (unlike myself).  The crackers were rather dry and chalky and not pleasant at all, 'dry cardboard' was Spanner's review (though his raw recipe reviews are often harsh  I was inclined to agree with this one).

Any tips on what might have gone awry?

Hi Containergirl. I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe it was your taste buds, too much maca or your buckwheat was not rinsed good enough 

It is correct, that they are dry, but should taste good with no aftertaste. Buckwheat can taste sometimes funny and usually I don't care about too much.I bought some raw sprouted dehydrated buckwheat at the market and prepared something for breakfast with it. I was not able to eat or serve it to my family and had to throw it out....the taste was awful.
 
I had some Crunchy Buckwheaties left and gave it 2 min ago to my girls, to check if they make funny faces  . They still love it and want that I make them again.

Thanks for the tips Tebasile.  I'll pass them on and use them myself when I get around to sprouting the buckwheat for the project.  I know when I make my grawnola I rinse the buckwheat very well.  Cheers.
