Creamy Buckwheat Porridge

Healthy, warm, and creamy buckwheat porridge filled with cardamom and almond.

Made with buckwheat groats, cardamom, almond butter, and dates, this warm and creamy buckwheat porridge is a hearty and healthy breakfast. Plus, the use of buckwheat and almond milk makes this recipe gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan for everyone to enjoy!

Although I used almond milk in this recipe, you can certainly use any plant-based or non-dairy milk that you like; oat milk and cashew milk would work particularly well. I opted to blend the buckwheat groats prior to cooking to create a rich and creamy texture, however, you can also cook them whole for a chunkier and heartier porridge if you like.

If you are a fan of oatmeal for breakfast, I highly suggest that you give this warm buckwheat porridge a try. Not only is it just as easy to prepare, but once blended it has a rich and creamy porridge-like texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1/2 cup buckwheat groats, raw
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom, ground
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 Medjool dates, pitted
• Salt

Instructions

1. In a bowl, cover buckwheat groats with water and soak overnight or for at least 2 hours. In the morning, or when soaked, strain water and rinse well.
2. Place the strained buckwheat groats into a blender and blitz a few times to help break them down.
3. Add milk, vanilla extract, ground cardamom, almond butter, pitted date, and a pinch of salt to the blender and process the mixture until a creamy and smooth consistency forms.
4. Add the mixture to a saucepan on low-medium heat and cook for about 2-3  minutes, stirring occasionally, to help the mixture warm and thicken. If you find the mixture too thick, add an additional splash of almond milk until the desired consistency is reached.
5. Once heated, transfer the buckwheat to a bowl and serve as is or add toppings of your choice.
