This is the best way I know of to use up odds and ends of packets and nuts and seeds, especially those that have gone a little soft. It also makes delicious use of an egg white. The buckwheat isn’t essential, but it adds a lovely depth of flavour and crunch. Enjoy as a rich chocolate-scented breakfast cereal or a crunchy topping for ice cream and/or cooked fruit.
