• Pinch of salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

Optional toppings:

• chopped fruit or dried fruit
• chopped nuts or seeds
• nut butter

1. In a bowl pour 2 cups raw buckwheat groats and 4 cups of water. Soak for at least 1 hour or overnight. After soaking, rinse well in a strainer several times.

2. Plack buckwheat groats in a food processor or blender, along with almond milk, chia seeds, and vanilla. Process until combined and slightly smooth. Now add in the sweetener and cinnamon to taste.
