For the granola:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the coconut oil, bananas, and maple syrup in the bowl of a food processor. Process until everything is combined and turned into a thick liquid, 40-45 seconds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, buckwheat groats, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, salt, and walnuts.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Give it a stir to ensure that the dry ingredients are coated with the liquid mixture as much as possible.
Spread the granola evenly in the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a ramekin or a mug, press to compress until it is compact.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
At the end of 15 minutes, remove it out of the oven. Using a large spatula, flip it over in large sections. Place it back in the oven.
Repeat the same process 3-4 times every 5 minutes, making smaller chunks each time. *1
Let the granola cool completely without touching it. *2
For the almond milk:
Meanwhile, place the almond milk, cocoa powder, and medjool dates in a blender. Blend until combined.
When ready to serve, place chunks of granola in a bowl, pour some chocolate almond milk over it, and if preferred top it off with some sliced bananas and hemp seeds.
