Ingredients

1 cup Buckwheat Groats
1/4 cup Chia Seeds
3 cups Unsweetened Coconut Milk
1 cup Water
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt
1/2 cup Walnut
3/4 cup Fresh Mixed Berries
3/4 cup Pomegranate Seeds
1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine buckwheat groats, chia seeds, coconut milk, water, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 2: Cover the bowl with stretch film and refrigerate overnight to allow the mixture to soak and thicken.
Step 3: The next morning, transfer the soaked mixture to a pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 12 minutes until it becomes thick and creamy.
Step 4: Serve the porridge topped with fresh mixed berries, pomegranate seeds, shredded coconut, and walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a creamier texture, substitute some water with more coconut milk or use full-fat coconut milk.
Swap walnuts with almonds or pecans depending on your preference or what you have on hand.
Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter porridge.
Try different fruit toppings like sliced bananas or mango for a tropical twist.

Storage

Store any leftover porridge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen the texture as needed.

How to Serve

Three white bowls each contain a base layer of creamy, beige chia pudding mixed with darker chia seeds.

Two vintage silver spoons lie crossed below the bowls on a white marbled surface scattered with small red dots resembling pomegranate seeds.

FAQs

Can I prepare this porridge without soaking overnight?

While soaking overnight softens the buckwheat and chia seeds, helping to create a creamy texture, you can cook the groats directly but it will take longer and the texture will be less creamy.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?

Yes, all the ingredients used, including the coconut milk and nuts, are plant-based, making this porridge a perfect vegan-friendly option.
