Charred Apricot Buckwheat Porridge

Recipe Description

Looking for a fresh and healthy breakfast option? This raw, gluten-free, vegan Charred Apricot Buckwheat Porridge could be the perfect way to add some variety to your morning routine. It is made with raw, soaked overnight buckwheat, banana, and dairy-free milk and flavored with cinnamon. Each serving is then finished with warm and slightly charred apricots, adding a delightful contrast to the cold and creamy porridge. With a little planning ahead, this simple breakfast can be on the table in 10 minutes or less. 

This recipe calls for almond milk (I often make my own homemade almond milk) and coconut oil. But you can also make a vegetarian version and opt for regular dairy milk and butter.  

To make the Charred Apricot Buckwheat Porridge, you will need the following ingredients:
