This is a really great meal if you are bored with your usual, mundane breakfast. It is easy, delicious and different. Banana is decadent and sweet paired with the crunch of the almonds this breakfast is enough to satisfy any cravings!
Ingredients:
- 300g buckwheat
- coconut oil
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 1 teaspoon agave or raw honey
- 1 banana, sliced to your liking
- 1 handful raw almonds
Instructions:
Soak the buckwheat in water overnight, then drain and rinse.
In a medium frying pan over a medium heat add a teaspoon of coconut oil and fry the buckwheat until golden brown, about five minutes.
Add the almond milk, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, and honey. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed. Dish the porridge into a bowl and set aside.
In the same frying pan, add a teaspoon of coconut oil and the banana and fry on a medium heat until sticky and caramelized, roughly five minutes. Once caramelized, add the banana to the porridge. Top with almonds and serve.
Health fact:
Buckwheat is high in fiber and gluten-free. Combined with the turmeric which is anti-inflammatory, this breakfast will pack a punch, and what is breakfast for if not for energy!
