Notes

*Pumpkin Pie Spice: sub the cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg for 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice. Otherwise, play with the spices and sweetness until you find what you like. This is a versatile recipe with so much possibility.
Look for buckwheat groats in the bulk section of your natural foods store. I buy mine at .99/lb from our community Co-Op.
