- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 150 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener

Instructions
Begin by rinsing the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water using a fine mesh sieve to remove any residue.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the buckwheat groats, coconut milk, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and add salt, vanilla extract, and chia seeds.
Cook the mixture for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the porridge is thick and creamy.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sweetener, cinnamon, and butter until well combined.
Divide the porridge into serving bowls and top with mixed berries and slivered almonds.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb creamy buckwheat porridge!
