Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water or milk
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries
Instructions
- Rinse the buckwheat groats thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dust or debris, ensuring they are clean and free from excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed buckwheat groats with water or milk. If using milk, choose between dairy milk or a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk for added flavor.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the groats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the buckwheat to cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the groats have absorbed most of the liquid and become tender.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon, creating a warm and aromatic base for the porridge.
- Drizzle the maple syrup over the porridge, gently folding it through to distribute the sweetness evenly.
- Transfer the porridge to serving bowls and top with chopped nuts and raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and flavor.
- For an extra indulgent touch, consider adding a small pat of butter or a splash of cream before serving.
- Serve immediately while the porridge is warm, enjoying the comforting cinnamon roll-inspired flavors.
Tips
- Rinse Thoroughly: Always rinse your buckwheat groats under cold water before cooking to remove any dust and excess starch, which helps achieve a better texture.
- Choose Your Liquid: For a creamier porridge, opt for milk—whether dairy or a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk. This adds richness and enhances the flavor profile.
- Watch the Heat: Keep an eye on the saucepan as the liquid comes to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the groats from sticking to the bottom, ensuring even cooking.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter porridge, feel free to add a bit more!
- Top It Off: Get creative with your toppings! Besides nuts and dried fruits, consider adding fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of coconut for extra flavor and texture.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy your porridge immediately while it's warm for the best taste and texture. A little pat of butter or a splash of cream can elevate your dish to a whole new level of indulgence.
