Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat groats
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove any debris and excess starch.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the groats are soft and have absorbed most of the water.
Step 4
Stir in the almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the porridge reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the maple syrup to sweeten.
Step 6
Ladle the porridge into bowls and, if desired, top with fresh berries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Serve the porridge warm and enjoy a hearty, low-fat breakfast to start your day right!
