Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup milk (such as almond milk, coconut milk, or cow’s milk)
- ¾ cup buckwheat groats (uncooked)
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup (divided, or substitute maple syrup or honey)
Toppings
- 1 banana (sliced)
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Cook the Buckwheat: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, ¾ cup milk, ¾ cup uncooked buckwheat groats, and 1 tablespoon of agave syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes until the buckwheat is fully cooked but some liquid remains, achieving a soft texture.
- Optional Blending: If you prefer a porridge-like consistency, use an immersion blender to pulse the cooked buckwheat briefly until desired texture is reached. This step is optional and can be skipped for a chunkier texture.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked buckwheat evenly into two bowls. Top each with sliced banana, blueberries, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of agave syrup.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the bowls warm for a comforting and filling breakfast. Feel free to add other toppings as desired.
Notes
- Substitute milk with any plant-based or dairy milk to suit dietary preferences.
- Alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or honey can replace agave syrup.
- Additional toppings can include nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or yogurt for extra protein and flavor.
- For a creamier texture, blending the cooked buckwheat slightly creates a porridge-like consistency.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of milk to loosen the mixture.
