Buckwheat Porridge (With Raspberries)

This buckwheat porridge is a delicious twist to your usual breakfast. It is simple and quick to make, and the buckwheat is a super healthy and satisfying alternative to oats. It has such a satisfying bite. Combined with some raspberries, this breakfast has all you could wish for! It is vegan, gluten-free, and a real treat!

Ingredients for making Buckwheat Porridge with Raspberries:

• Buckwheat
• Plant-based milk
• Raspberries
• Sweetener (I used cane sugar)
• Vegan butter substitute
• Cinnamon
• Salt
• Optional: Some toasted almonds as a topping

The ingredient list is short for this one and leaves lots of room for customization. I added frozen raspberries to my buckwheat porridge, but other kinds of fruits will work fantastically as well.

I cooked the buckwheat in oat milk, which makes it extra creamy. You can also use other plant-based milks of your liking. To make the buckwheat porridge extra creamy, I added a bit of a neutral-tasting vegan butter substitute. You can add a bit of healthy neutral oil like rapeseed oil or simply omit it. It will taste nice without it as well.

As a sweetener, I added some cane sugar. Maple syrup works great for this recipe as well!
Lastly, a little touch of cinnamon and salt rounds everything off!

Buckwheat Porridge Recipe:

Making the Buckwheat porridge is super simple. We will start cooking the buckwheat porridge. Once it has soaked up the plant-based milk, we will add the fruits, sweetener, butter substitute, and spices for the last few minutes before serving.

Add the buckwheat together with the vegan milk substitute to a pot and bring it to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 20 minutes until the buckwheat has absorbed the liquid.

Add the other ingredients and combine them until you have a creamy porridge and the fruits are thawed. Check for seasoning, and you are good to go with this simple and delicious breakfast.

When serving, I topped each bowl with some more thawed raspberries, cane sugar, and pieces of toasted almond.
