SUPERFOOD // BUCKWHEAT:

I am a diehard oatmeal fan, but I also love switching things up and enjoying other grain & grain-free alternatives. Here I cooked up some creamy buckwheat porridge and used it to make a super yummy, super satisfying chocolate hazelnut breakfast bowl!

This porridge is thick, creamy, and decadent with that wonderful Nutella-like flavour. Yet it’s free of refined sugar and packed with fibre, protein, and healthy fats, too!

Despite what the name implies, buckwheat is NOT wheat. It is actually a “pseudograin” — a gluten-free seed with grain-like characteristics — that is safe for individuals with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. Buckwheat is rich in minerals and antioxidants, as well as fibre and plant-based protein.
