Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Fresh or frozen berries
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds or walnuts)
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a sieve to remove any dust or impurities.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats with the water and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until the groats are tender and most of the water is absorbed. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue to cook on low heat for about 5 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the porridge from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken further as the chia seeds absorb the liquid.
Divide the porridge into two serving bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh or frozen berries, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious sugar-free breakfast!
