Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute light brown sugar for the date sugar and maple sugar.

    This is really tasty. I did leave out the banana, since I'm not a fan, but otherwise followed the recipe. Liked that this can be done on the stovetop since my usual cereal is baked.

    I've always been intrigued by this recipe but avoided because of the long list of ingredients - mostly ones I never buy. However, I was able to find MOST of the items (everything but buckwheat groats) during a recent trip to Trader Joe's. I'll admit spending $50 on groceries for a cereal recipe isn't something I'd normally do, but I wanted to check this off the list. I halved the recipe and it made a ton, so I wouldn't make the full recipe unless you plan to feed a family of 4 for a few weeks. It's good as cereal but i think I like the overnight oats idea better. It's good and I like it but I think I was expecting more. I also subbed brown sugar for the maple and date sugar, because where do you even find those?????

    This is ridiculously delicious. I did make a couple mistakes when I made this. I added black sesame seeds after adding the white sesame seeds (doubled the sesame called for). It was a good mistake that I don't feel negated the deliciousness of the recipe. I also added the brown sugar straight to the mix instead of melting it down. For me the sugar content felt a bit high even though I didn't make it into a syrup - I would recommend reducing the sugar by a quarter if you normally avoid sweets and don't have the palate for it. When I used this for overnight oats it was delicious AND I recommend adding a tablespoon of hemp hearts to it to add a bit more crunch. I typically just throw oat milk over it and go and I've been eating it for a month straight and feel like this is something I can see eating daily for the foreseeable future.

    Made this a second time, roasting the buckwheat groats an extra five minutes so that they were crisp but not excessively firm and this time avoided burning the tumeric-coconut oil mix. Terrific as cereal or an overnight bowl.

    I chased down the myriad ingredients - going to four stores in the end, I think! - and assembled them in my largest bowl. Compared with the overnight oats, a different winning recipe in this book, this recipe calls for many more parts. I was a bit unsure of how this would work - crushed banana chips alongside toasted buckwheat groats, with lots of diced dried fruits and coconut oil seemed a leap of faith. I managed to burn the turmeric, date and maple sugar mix through inattention a too high a heat, but added it anyway, which might have been a mistake but the flavors are good and I don't taste any charred or unwanted notes. In any event, I first tried this dish with cold milk, as if it were a granola. It was good but the buckwheat groats and other elements seemed pretty hard, more than I'd like. I then tried eating it as an overnight oats dish and this time it proved absolutely fantastic. I will try cooking it like oatmeal. I suspect that will work well, too.
