Instructions

Buckwheat porridge:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Soak buckwheat: Wash the buckwheat and place it in a bowl. Cover with cold water. Leave to soak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Drain it well.½ toasted buckwheat groats/ 100 g
  2. Blend the groats: Place in a saucepan and add the milk. Blend the buckwheat very shortly with an immersion blender, about 5-6 pulses are enough; the buckwheat should still have a coarse texture.1¾ milk / 400 ml
  3. Add the ground almonds and stir to mix.2 tablespoons ground almonds
  4. Cook buckwheat: Bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes or until the porridge has thickened.
Blueberry compote:
  1. Cook blueberries: Place the blueberries in a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice and the sweetener. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the mixture becomes saucy and the blueberries are heated through. If using fresh blueberries, 5 minutes would be enough.2½ cups blueberries/ 300 g + 1 tablespoon lemon juice + sweetener of choice
  2. If using frozen blueberries, it will take a few minutes longer, check the blueberries to make sure that they are thawed and heated through.
Banana porridge:
  1. Banana: Halve the banana. Mash one half and slice the other half. Mix the mashed banana and the nut butter with the cooked porridge.1 banana + 1 teaspoon almond butter
  2. Assemble porridge: Top the porridge with the sliced banana, sprinkle with chopped almonds or peanuts, and with some cinnamon to taste.1 tablespoon almonds + sprinkle of cinnamon
  3. Add sweeteners like stevia, honey, maple syrup, etc, but if the banana is ripe enough, the porridge will be sweet enough without anything added. sweetener

Notes

  • Milk: Regular milk or any kind of plant-based milk, such as almond, rice, oat, or coconut (from a pack, not a can).
  • Sweeteners: I use stevia most of the time, but sugar, honey, maple, date, and agave syrup are also fine.
