Ingredients
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse the raw buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dust or debris. Drain completely.
- Place the rinsed buckwheat groats in a large bowl and cover with 2 cups of water. Allow to soak at room temperature for 30 minutes to soften and activate enzyme release.
- While buckwheat is soaking, chop the dried apricots into small, bite-sized pieces to distribute evenly throughout the porridge.
- After soaking, drain the buckwheat groats completely and transfer to a food processor or high-speed blender.
- Add sliced banana, chopped dried apricots, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender with the buckwheat.
- Pulse and blend the mixture until it reaches a creamy, porridge-like consistency, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Taste the porridge and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- Transfer the porridge to serving bowls and garnish with additional sliced fresh fruit, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if preferred.
- Serve immediately at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Tips
- Rinse Thoroughly: Always rinse buckwheat groats meticulously to remove any dust and ensure a clean, fresh taste.
- Soaking is Key: The 30-minute soaking process isn't just a step - it's crucial for softening the groats and activating beneficial enzymes.
- Blending Technique: Pulse and blend gradually to achieve that perfect creamy consistency. Don't overblend, or you'll lose the nice texture.
- Customization Options: Feel free to experiment with toppings like chia seeds, hemp hearts, or different fruits to keep your porridge exciting.
- Temperature Matters: Serve immediately at room temperature for the best taste and optimal nutrient absorption.
- Storage Tip: If you have leftovers, store in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for maximum freshness.
