What are buckwheat groats?

Easy buckwheat porridge

“Buckwheat is actually not related to wheat at all. It is a bush-like plant, which comes from the same family as rhubarb. Buckwheat flour is made from the triangle-shaped seed, or fruit, of the plant. The seed is similar to a sunflower seed, with a small seed inside a hard outer hull. This tiny seed is what the buckwheat flour is made from. This seed may be tiny, but it is mighty powerful when it comes to nutrition.”

Buckwheat is a mine of vitamins and minerals. Therefore, it deserves to be present at our table more often, not only during dinner but also at breakfast. Have you heard about buckwheat? It’s a great time to try it out.

Why it works

This Buckwheat Porridge recipe works because it combines healthy buckwheat groats with the creamy goodness of coconut milk and a touch of sweetness.

Main ingredients you will need:

• buckwheat groats – Make sure you buy the untoasted groats. They will be white in color. You are going to blend them to flour consistently. If you don’t have a high-speed blender you can use a spice grinder.

• plant milk – I used coconut milk to add creaminess and richness to the recipe.
• almonds – You are going to need almonds silvers and you are going to blitz them together with buckwheat groats. You can omit this but almonds here add to the creaminess of the recipe.
• stevia – You can use any other sweetness that you like.
• sea salt – it brings out the nutty flavor of groats.
• water – You can also substitute this with extra plant-based milk.

Topping suggestions:

Imagination is your only limitation here! You can simply top it with anything as you would with regular porridge.

• tahini ( ❤ )
• fruit
• cacao nibs
• nut butter
• coconut flakes
• granola
• seeds

Frequently asked questions:

Can I substitute regular milk for coconut milk in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute regular milk or any other milk of your choice for coconut milk in this recipe. It may alter the flavor slightly, but it’s a flexible option to suit your preferences or dietary needs. I have tried this with cashew milk and it was delicious too!

How do I make this buckwheat porridge even sweeter without using stevia?

You can make the porridge sweeter by adding honey, maple syrup, and agave nectar.

Is buckwheat better than oatmeal?

If you know me you know I LOVE my oats! However, buckwheat and oatmeal have their unique benefits. Buckwheat is gluten-free and provides more protein and essential minerals like magnesium and manganese. It’s an excellent choice for those with dietary restrictions or looking for a nutrient-dense alternative. Oatmeal, on the other hand, is a good source of soluble fibre and can be better for heart health. The choice between the two depends on your specific nutritional needs and taste preferences.

Is it OK to eat this buckwheat porridge everyday?

Yes, it is generally safe to eat buckwheat every day for most people, as long as you do not have any specific dietary restrictions or allergies to buckwheat. However, as with any food, moderation is key. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet that includes a variety of grains.

Storage:

Refrigerator: Allow the porridge to cool down to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Properly stored, it should last for up to 4 days. I love to meal prep this to last me throughout the week!
Freezer (for longer storage): If you want to store the porridge for later use, you can freeze it. Let it cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container or individual portions in freezer bags. It should be good for up to 2-3 months in the freezer.

Reheating:

Stovetop: To reheat on the stovetop, place the desired amount of porridge in a saucepan with a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen it up. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired temperature and consistency. When I am reheating, I always add a bit more coconut milk or water to adjust the consistency as it has the tendency to thicken too much in the fridge.
Microwave: For a quick reheating option, you can use the microwave. Place the porridge in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in short increments (30 seconds to 1 minute) until it’s heated through, stirring in between to ensure even heating.

When reheating, you can add a bit more coconut milk or water to adjust the consistency if it has thickened too much in the fridge.
