Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat groats (kasha)
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Butter or coconut oil
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Fresh or dried fruits (berries, raisins, or chopped apples)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water using a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear, then drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, toast the rinsed buckwheat groats over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they emit a nutty aroma.

Step 3

Add water, milk, and salt to the saucepan with the toasted groats. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kasha absorbs the liquid and reaches a porridge-like consistency.

Step 5

Stir in honey or maple syrup and butter or coconut oil until fully incorporated and creamy.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the cereal sit, covered, for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Divide the kasha cereal into bowls and top with chopped nuts, fresh or dried fruits, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast!
