Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw buckwheat groats
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 piece Apple (medium-sized)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (or honey)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- Optional: Fresh seasonal berries or dried fruits for topping
Instructions
Rinse the raw buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine mesh sieve to remove any impurities.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats, almond milk (or your milk of choice), and rolled oats.
Grate the apple using a box grater and add it to the bowl.
Stir in the chopped nuts, chia seeds, maple syrup (or honey), ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This allows the buckwheat and oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
In the morning, give the muesli a good stir. Add more almond milk if the consistency is too thick for your liking.
Portion the muesli into serving bowls and top with fresh seasonal berries or dried fruits, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your nutritious Buckwheat Apple Muesli!
