Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh fruits
- 0.5 cup nuts or seeds
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water using a fine mesh strainer to remove any impurities.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats and water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender.
Add the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the cooked buckwheat. Stir well to combine.
Increase the heat slightly and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about 5-7 more minutes.
If the porridge becomes too thick, add a little more coconut milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to set.
Serve the porridge hot, topped with fresh fruits, nuts or seeds, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
