Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Almond butter
- 1 cup Fresh fruits (such as berries, banana slices, or apple slices)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Coconut flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear to remove any bitterness.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats, unsweetened almond milk, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the buckwheat is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the chia seeds, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the porridge to thicken.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the almond butter until combined and creamy.
Divide the porridge into bowls and top with fresh fruits of your choice, such as berries, banana slices, or apple slices.
Sprinkle chopped nuts and coconut flakes on top if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy a nutritious start to your day!
