Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
- 0.5 cup fresh or frozen berries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This helps remove any debris or natural bitterness from the groats.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and the groats are tender.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches your desired creamy texture, about 5 to 8 more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste the porridge and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or maple syrup.
Divide the porridge into bowls. Top with chopped nuts, fresh or frozen berries, and drizzle with honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Serve the Paleo Creamy Buckwheat Porridge warm, and enjoy a hearty start to your day!
