Chocolate Strawberry Rawnola

I adapted my original coconut rawnola recipe and turned it into chocolate strawberry rawnola! Rawnola is basically a raw version of granola, meaning there is no baking required so it’s a great option when you need something really quick.

This recipe makes a really wonderful breakfast or snack option, and because its decadent it could even be eaten as a dessert. I certainly feel like I’m eating dessert when I have it.

Use this recipe anywhere you would normally use granola. Serve it with non-dairy milk and eat it as a cereal, sprinkle it on top of a smoothie bowl, sprinkle it on oatmeal, and much more!

A 5 minute granola that doesn’t require any baking. It’s a delicious chocolate strawberry treat that’s high in protein!

1 cup dates
3/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup buckwheat groats
3 tbsp raw cacao or cocoa powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus more for garnish)
fresh ripe strawberries (sliced)
cacao nibs (optional for garnish)

Add the dates, oats, buckwheat, cacao, and vanilla to a food processor and pulse for about a minute or so until the ingredients are mostly broken down. There will be a lot of whole buckwheat pieces and some medium date chunks, which is completely fine.
Add the shredded coconut and pulse a few more times to combine.
To serve as a cereal, pour the rawnola in a bowl with non-dairy milk and fresh strawberry slices, and garnish with additional coconut and some cacao nibs if desired.
