Sweet Potato Muesli Bars
Sweet potatoes make the best muesli bars. These beauties are delicious and are especially amazing when eaten straight from the freezer.
Buckinis are activated buckwheat kernels. Being activated means they are super easy to digest. Interestingly, although its name can be misleading, buckwheat is actually not a grain. It is a fruit seed, related to rhubarb and sorrel. This makes is gluten free and therefore perfect for coeliacs and those who are sensitive to gluten grains.
