Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats (kasha)
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Butter or coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruits (berries, raisins, or chopped apples)
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear, then drain well.
In a medium saucepan, toast the rinsed buckwheat groats over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they emit a nutty aroma.
Add water, milk, and salt to the saucepan with the toasted groats. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kasha absorbs the liquid and reaches a porridge-like consistency.
Stir in honey or maple syrup and butter or coconut oil until fully incorporated and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cereal sit, covered, for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Divide the kasha cereal into bowls and top with chopped nuts, fresh or dried fruits, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast!
