Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk (canned, unsweetened)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup fresh berries or chopped fruit
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts, for topping)
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats with 2 cups of water.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the water is mostly absorbed and the buckwheat is tender.
Stir in the coconut milk and salt. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the mixture becomes creamy.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the porridge. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the porridge sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Divide the porridge between two bowls. Top with fresh berries or chopped fruit and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your soothing, creamy buckwheat porridge.
