Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup toasted buckwheat groats (kasha)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, raisins, or figs)
- 1 teaspoons butter or coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water to remove any dust or residue. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rinsed buckwheat groats and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the saucepan and let the buckwheat simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the groats have absorbed most of the water and are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the milk, maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and an optional teaspoon of butter or coconut oil for added creaminess.
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cereal reaches your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let the cereal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve hot in bowls and top with chopped nuts, fresh or dried fruit, and a drizzle of additional maple syrup or honey, if desired.
Enjoy your satisfying and nutritious breakfast!
