Overnight Buckwheat Chia Porridge with Banana and Peanut Butter

I discovered this recipe from a Food Blogger in YouTube. I did make some changes on her recipe according to how I want my porridge to be. My daughter loves chia pudding so instead of blending the chia with the softened buckwheat groats, I soaked the chia seeds with unsweetened Almond Milk overnight and mixed it with the porridge in the morning to give some dimension to my creamy morning porridge.

Here’s my simple recipe for a 2-serving Overnight Buckwheat Porridge.

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup Organic Raw Buckwheat Groats
2 cups of cold water
1/2 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
3 tbsp. of Chia Seeds
3/4 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (or any milk or non-dairy Plant Milk of your choice)
2 tbsp. Monk Fruit (sweetener of your choice)
1 tsp. Vanilla
Pinch of Sea Salt
1 Banana (or any fruit of your choice; berries, mango, kiwi, peach, etc.)
1 tbsp. of Nut Butter (mine was unsalted, no-sugar creamy peanut butter)

In a blending jar, soak the buckwheat groats with water, overnight. Meanwhile, in a small mason jar, soak the chia seeds with 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk.

The next morning, drain the water from the buckwheat groats and add 1/2 cup of Milk. Add Vanilla, sweetener, a pinch of salt and half of the fruits you prepared for this recipe. Blend together until you get the consistency that you want.

Prepare two bowls or mason jars to assemble. Pour the buckwheat porridge into the bowl. Add in some chia pudding then top with your choice of fruits and nut butter. Drizzle honey or maple syrup to add more sweetness and to be more creative, you can also add a sprinkle of chia seeds, coconut flakes, dried berries or granola.

I do not add any syrup or honey on mine but still, it is over-the-top. I enjoy this hearty and healthy morning breakfast filled with lots of healthy ingredients while keeping me full and active the entire morning. Best of all, I made this with my daughter. Making overnight oats/porridge with her is a fun way for me to spend time and teach her how to make healthy breakfasts.

I love the earthy taste of this raw buckwheat porridge. Tell me how yours will turn out. Thank you for visiting my blog and for reading my post.
