Jazzed-Up Buckwheat Porridge

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a recipe for a "jazzed-up" buckwheat porridge. This idea came to mind because I've been actively trying to include a wider variety of foods in my diet, more variety = more nutrients (in most cases!). It's a staple to have oats cooked up for breakfast, but trying buckwheat in their place is a great way to change it up. I've included lots of toppings to add not only colour and flavour but many nutrients!

Recipe:

1/2 cup buckwheat groats

1 cup water

1/4 cup nondairy milk

1/3 cup raspberries

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp maple syrup

Toppings:

1 tbsp goji berries

1 tbsp chopped walnuts

1 tbsp pistachios

1 tbsp sunflower seeds

1 tbsp cacao nibs

Directions:

1) Combine buckwheat and water in a small pot and bring to a boil

2) Cover, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes on low heat

3) Once buckwheat is cooked, stir in vanilla, raspberries, maple syrup and nondairy milk

4) Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle on toppings

5) Serve hot and enjoy!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week :)
