Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups raw untoasted buckwheat groats
  • 3 cups water (Pressure cooker/Instant Pot) OR
  • 4 cups boiling water (Stovetop option)
  • ½ teaspoon cooking salt
  • ¼ cup cacao powder
  • cup coconut cream
  • ¼ cup honey use maple syrup or rice syrup for vegan option

Optional

  • 1 cup hydrolyzed collagen powder for extra gut, skin and joint support

To serve

  • Your choice of nuts and fresh or stewed fruits - eg. caramelised bananas berries, sliced fig

Instructions

  • Pressure cooker or Instant Pot:
  • Add the boiling water, buckwheat groats, and salt to the bowl of the pressure cooker. Seal the lid and close the vent, then set to High Pressure for 3 minutes. Cook for the same amount of time if using a stovetop pressure cooker.
  • Once the pressure cooking time has ended, allow the pressure cooker to depressurise naturally (ie. don't open the vent) for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut cream, the honey and the cacao powder until well incorporated. Adjust with additional water if desired.
  • Serve immediately with desired toppings.
  • Stove top:
  • Add the boiling water, buckwheat groats and salt to a large saucepan or even a stockpot and place over medium-high heat. Keep an eye on the pan because the buckwheat gets quite foamy.
  • Allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the groats have softened. Try not to overcook them though as they are great with some bite.
  • Stir in the coconut cream, the honey and the cacao powder until well incorporated. Adjust with additional water if desired.
  • Serve immediately with desired toppings.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Equipment: Measuring cups, measuring spoons, whisk, electric pressure cooker or large saucepan/stockpot
 
If using the collagen powder, add this to the boiling water first, mix and then add to the pot.
