- Buckwheat breakfast porridge
In order to make this buckwheat breakfast porridge, it is best to soak the groats overnight to help ensure they are soft and easier to blend into a porridge, as limited soaking time might create a grittier porridge.
The ratio is 3:1 water to buckwheat groats.
Take a bowl, add water and buckwheat groats and let it soak for the night in the fridge. In the morning the buckwheat grouts will look and taste as if they were cooked into a porridge. Add milk, honey and vanilla to give the porridge a subtly sweet flavour, and topped it with fresh berries and shredded coconut, however, you can use any toppings of your choice.
