Ingredients

  • 1 cup Buckwheat flakes

  • 2.5 cups Coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 piece Apple, fresh

  • pieces Syrup, maple

  • 2 spoons Flaxseed

  • pieces Nuts, hazelnuts

Steps

  1. Place the buckwheat groats in a sieve and rinse under running water until the water runs clear. Drain the rinsed groats well, transfer them to a suitable pot, pour in the milk, and season with cinnamon and salt. Place on the stove and bring to a gentle boil over moderate heat, then reduce the temperature so the liquid barely simmers. Cook the buckwheat porridge, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 20 minutes or until the grains soften and absorb most of the liquid.

  2. Wash the apple, peel if desired, and coarsely grate it. Add it to the pot along with flaxseeds during the last five minutes of cooking. If needed, sweeten the porridge with a teaspoon or two of natural sweetener. Remove the pot from the heat.

  3. Serve the prepared porridge in bowls or portion it into jars for storage. Top it with nuts, dried and/or fresh fruit, and serve.
