Buckwheat Breakfast Porridge

This sweet porridge is like the grain free version of oatmeal or cream of rice!  Just sweet enough, it pairs well with fruit and a few nuts sprinkled on top for a hardy breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Buckwheat Groats
  • 3 Cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp Sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
  • 1/4 Cup Raisins (optional)
  • 1/4 Cup Walnuts (optional, for topping)
  • 1/2 Cup Berries or fruit of choice (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Rinse buckwheat well in a fine colander and transfer to Instant Pot.
  • Add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup or stevia, and raisins. Stir.
  • Close lid, making sure the valve is closed. Select “manual” and set it to 5 minutes.
  • When cooking has finished and it beeps, allow the cooker to naturally release the pressure. This takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • After pressure has fully released, open the lid very carefully. I always do this with a towel just in case!
  • Gently stir and scoop into bowls. Add additional milk if desired, along with chopped walnuts and fruit.
  • Remainder can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of days, or place in individual serving containers and freeze for future use.
