Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water to remove any dust or debris.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until the water is absorbed and the groats are tender.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from the heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.
Serve the porridge warm, topped with chopped walnuts and fresh berries for added flavor and nutrition.
Enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast, rich in fiber and antioxidants!
