Ingredients:
Please buy organic ingredients whenever possible, for you and the planet!
​
​1 1/2 cups (7 oz) butternut squash, diced into 1” pieces
1 cup (4 oz) zucchini, cut into 1” pieces
1/2 cup (2.25 oz) buckwheat groats 
2 Tbsp. (0.65 oz) sesame seeds 
1/2 cup (2 oz) sunflower seeds
3 Tbsp. (45 ml) Lakanto monkfruit sweetener
2 Tbsp. (0.5 oz) ground flax seeds
1/4 cup (0.5 oz) shredded coconut
1/2 tsp. (2.5 ml) ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. (0.62 ml) organic ground nutmeg or 5-spice or anise/fennel/nutmeg
blend
1/8 tsp. (0.62 ml) sea salt

​Process the butternut squash in the food processor with S-blade until finely
chopped, but not pureed. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Process the
zucchini in the food processor until finely chopped (pulse chop to prevent
overprocessing). Stir into the butternut squash with the remaining
ingredients.

Spread onto a dehydrator sheet lined with Paraflexx and dehydrate at
115°F for 16-24 hours.

Store in airtight container after completely cooled down. Stays fresh and crispy at room temperature for 1 month and stays fresh in freezer for 3-4 months. If you find the granola is not as crispy as it was at the beginning, dehydrate for a few hours at 115°F ​ until crispy again.
