holy grain energizer breakfast

this is a delicious porridge inspired by the breath-taking power of buckwheat! rich in protein, fibre, selenium, rutin, this gluten-free grain is the perfect way to begin your morning. we ran out of buckwheat this morning, so this porridge is a half and half combination of buckwheat & rolled outs. yum yum yum!



ingredients:
1/2 cup buckwheat
1/4 cup rolled oats
water, eyeballed!
a pinch of salt
a generous sprinkle cinnamon
a splash of soymilk
a few apricots
maple syrup, to taste

directions:
1. soak buckwheat in 1 cup of water overnight
2. in the morning, blend the buckwheat into a smooth, porridge-like consistency
3. in a pot, heat up the buckwheat and add oats. add about a half cup of cold water. stir together, making a creamy texture. cook for about a minute, adding water whenever the porridge is looking a little dry!
4. stir in salt & cinnamon
5. once cooked, put in your bowl, topping with soymilk, apricots (or whatever fruit you desire!), maple syrup, and perhaps a dash more of cinnamon!
