Ingredients
- 1 cup Buckwheat groats
- 2 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve to remove any dust or debris.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the saucepan and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the buckwheat is tender and most of the water has been absorbed.
Step 4
Add the milk, salt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey) to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Continue to cook the porridge over low heat, stirring occasionally, for an additional 5 minutes. This will help thicken the porridge and make it creamy.
Step 6
Once the porridge reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
Step 7
Serve the porridge hot, and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or additional sweeteners if desired.
