'I love to start the day off with this buckwheat granola with yogurt. The main basis of this crunchy little number is buckwheat; a nutritious gluten free grain. It has a good source of protein as well as being rich in fibre and B vitamins.' says Madeleine Shaw.

- Make sure it comes out nice and crispy.
- Let it cool before you pop it into a jar to seal.
- Enjoy it with coconut yogurt, fresh fruit, honey or seeds on top.
