Iāve always been a big fan of porridgeĀ for breakfast. Especially in the colderĀ months when I wake up, itās still dark outside, and I can feel the cool air slipping into my home even when the heat is on.
In these cases, I like a throw on an oversize sweater, make a cup off coffee, and enjoy a nice bowl of warming buckwheat porridge. This breakfast has been my new go-to lately. If youāre one of these people who loves oatmeal for breakfast, then youāre going to love buckwheat porridge just as much. Plus itās gluten-free, and easily digestible!
I like to serve up my warming buckwheat porridge with cinnamon, maple syrup, and top it off with fresh fruit and flaked coconut. You can also try different combinations with this buckwheat porridge and add flavours the same you would to oatmeal. Try making it with some brown sugar, peanut butter, or dark chocolate chips if desired!

I made this on a chilly morning and it really hit the spot. The texture was different from what Iām used to with oatmeal, but in a good way. I loved that they werenāt overly sweetI
I didnāt know you could make buckwheat into porridge, definitely something Iām going to be trying, thanks for sharing š
