Preparation

For the Base:

  1. Place the activated buckwheat grouts into the food processor and process for about a minute just to help break them down a bit.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend until all combined.
  3. Press the mixture down into a lined baking dish. I used a 8-inch by 11-inch dish. Rub a bit of coconut oil on your hands to help avoid the mixture sticking to your hands whilst pressing down.
  4. Place into the freezer while you make the caramel topping.

Notes

Use organic whenever possible!
