I love making my avena proteica, protein chia pudding o avena nocturna proteica for breakfast. But sometimes, I like something new, gluten-free, and different from oats.
Buckwheat porridge is the best for it. It has a delicious nutty flavor and a lot of texture and is so fulfilling and comforting as a winter breakfast.

Instrucciones para la impresión en alta definición
- In a non-stick saucepan, add water, almond milk, maple syrup, and protein powder if used. Whisk to incorporate the powder. Bring the liquid to a boil.
- Stir in buckwheat groats, cover with a lid, reduce heat to simmer, and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until all liquid is absorbed. You will notice some brown layer forming on top of the liquid, and that's ok. The color of the cooked mixture won't be appealing as it's brownish in color, but that's normal.
- Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, and fluff with a fork.
Sirviendo
- Serve with 1/4 cup of your favorite plant-based milk on top, giving the bowl a lighter color. Then top up with fresh berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Buckwheat Groats?
Buckwheat groats are an excellent complete protein source for vegans and vegetarians. The plant-based proteins in buckwheat contain the 21 amino acids your body needs, including the nine essential amino acids that your body is unable to produce.
Next, buckwheat is high in rutin and quercin. Both are antioxidant compounds that protect your body from inflammation. Finally, buckwheat is high in prebiotics, the non-digestible compounds that feed the bacteria in your guts and contribute to a healthy digestive system.
Ingredientes y sustituciones
All you need to make this vegan gluten-free porridge are:
- Granos de trigo sarraceno – You can use roasted or unroasted groats. Some people like to soak the groats for 30 minutes in cold water before cooking them. It’s a good idea to do so if you are sensitive to high-fiber food. This extra step makes the porridge easier to digest.
- Leche a base de plantas – You can use almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or any plant-based milk you love. I love creamier milk like soy or coconut milk, making the porridge creamier.
- Agua – to reduce the carbs from the milk.
- Extracto de vainilla – por el sabor.
- Jarabe de arce – It’s optional. You can also use any sweetener you love, including diabetes-friendly sweeteners like erythritol or allulose.
- Canela – por el sabor.
How To Make Buckwheat Porridge
It’s very easy to make buckwheat porridge at home.
- Place water, non-dairy milk, and maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring over medium-high heat, cover the pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, add buckwheat groats to the pan, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, occasionally stirring or until all the liquid is absorbed by the grain.
- A thin dark brown residue forms on top of the liquid, and the color gets brownish. That’s normal.
- Remove from the heat and keep the saucepan covered with the lid on for 2 minutes.
- After that time, use a fork to fluffy the groats and serve in a breakfast bowl.
Serving For Breakfast
The mixture has a color that might seem unappealing after cooking. Place it in a serving bowl and top the cooked groats with 1/4 cup of your favorite dairy-free milk. This turns the bowl color whiter, as seen in the picture below.
Top the bowl with berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or some of the amazing healthy toppings below:
- Corazones de cáñamo
- Chispas de Chocolate
- Coco Desecado
- Nuts – chopped almonds, walnuts, pecans
- Una pizca de canela
- Nut Butter – drizzle peanut butter or almond butter
- Mantequilla de semillas de girasol
Variaciones de sabor
I recommend playing with the flavors and trying some of the ingredients below to create a range of delicious breakfasts.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Porridge – At the end of the cooking, stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, and increase the maple syrup by 2 or 3 tablespoons. Serve with chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, and extra peanut butter. To decrease the saturated fat, feel free to use powdered peanut butter.
- Matcha Buckwheat Porridge – First, use coconut milk as a plant-based milk, as it’s the best combo with matcha powder. Next, sift one tablespoon of matcha powder into the cooked mixture and serve with dairy-free white chocolate chips and raspberries on top.
- Protein Powder Buckwheat Bowl – Stir 1 or 2 tablespoons of protein powder at the end and top the bowl with protein-loaded seeds such as hemp seeds or chia seeds.
- Especia de calabaza – For a classic Fall flavor, stir in 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree in the liquid in step 1. In the end, flavor the cooked porridge with one tablespoon of pumpkin pie spices. Serve it with chopped pecans, walnuts, diced apples, and more maple syrup.
