Cinnamon Buckwheat Cereal
Servings: 4 (make adjustments for number of people)
This makes a deliciously sweet breakfast that can be paired with a morning vegetable soup or smoothie. (Be sure to soak the cream of buckwheat or raw buckwheat groats the night before–see instructions on soaking grains, nuts, seeds, and beans at the beginning of this chapter.)
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups soaked cream of buckwheat cereal or raw buckwheat groats
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. ghee or raw butter
If you want this sweetened, add stevia, honey, or maple syrup to taste
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bring water to a boil. Add soaked cream of buckwheat or raw buckwheat groats; as this comes to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer.
Add cinnamon and sea salt and mix in grains. Simmer on low for approximately 10 minutes (15 minutes for groats) or until the water is soaked in. If the grains need more water, simply add another ¼–½ cup as needed until they’re done. Add ghee or raw butter.
Add stevia, honey, or maple syrup to taste (optional)—each person can add their own when served, depending on taste.
