Ingredients

• 1 cup toasted buckwheat groats (kasha)
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
• 0.5 cup fresh or dried fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, raisins, or figs)
• 1 teaspoons butter or coconut oil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold water to remove any dust or residue. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rinsed buckwheat groats and a pinch of salt, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 3

Cover the saucepan and let the buckwheat simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the groats have absorbed most of the water and are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Stir in the milk, maple syrup or honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and an optional teaspoon of butter or coconut oil for added creaminess.

Step 5

Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cereal reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove from heat and let the cereal sit for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Serve hot in bowls and top with chopped nuts, fresh or dried fruit, and a drizzle of additional maple syrup or honey, if desired.

Step 8

Enjoy your satisfying and nutritious breakfast!
