Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any dust or debris.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the saucepan and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and most of the water has been absorbed.
Add the milk, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Continue to cook the porridge over low heat, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5 minutes. This will help thicken the porridge and make it creamy.
Once the porridge reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Serve the porridge hot, and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or additional sweeteners if desired.
