Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove any bitter taste.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat, water, and coconut milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
After about 15 minutes of simmering, the buckwheat should be tender, and the liquid should be mostly absorbed.
Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring to combine all the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken into a creamy consistency.
Serve the porridge in bowls, topped with chopped nuts, fresh berries, and chia seeds for added texture and nutrients.
Enjoy your warm and wholesome dairy-free creamy buckwheat porridge!
