Description
A nutritious and energizing breakfast bowl made with buckwheat groats, topped with mixed nuts and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup buckwheat groats, raw hulled
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mixed nuts, roughly chopped (almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
- 1 cup fresh fruit, diced (berries, banana slices, apple, or pear)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 cup milk or plant-based milk, optional
Instructions
- Rinse buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, combine buckwheat groats, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until groats are tender and water is fully absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork to separate grains.
- Divide cooked buckwheat equally between two serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with mixed nuts and fresh fruit. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired and sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Serve warm, with milk or plant-based milk poured over if preferred.
