1/2 cup activated buckwheat groats
1/2 cup protein powder or almond meal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon coconut cream
60g (85% dark) chocolate, chopped into small pieces
In a bowl combine activated buckwheat groats, protein powder, coconut cream and peanut butter.
Roll into small balls. Sit in the freezer on a tray lined with baking paper to set for about 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate over a double boiler, ensuring the chocolate doesn’t seize.
Remove balls from the freezer and coat in melted chocolate. Place back in the fridge to set. Serve.

Hey Pia! Buckwheat groats are essentially just the hulled version of regular buckwheat, sometimes referred to as kernels. Here are a few links to buckwheat groats (it can be a bit confusing as stores often don’t label them as such!):

You can also find it at Woolies from the Macro brand.
Hope you enjoy the recipe!
