Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons plant-based protein powder (vanilla flavor)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (e.g., blueberries, raspberries)
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, chopped almonds, chia seeds, plant-based protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the porridge becomes thick and creamy.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further.
Divide the porridge into two bowls and top with fresh berries of your choice.
Serve warm, and enjoy your high-protein creamy buckwheat porridge!
