How to prepare a plantbased vegan buckwheat porridge recipe with chia seeds

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk reduces calories while providing creaminess.

maple syrup

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is often cheaper and adds sweetness.

fresh fruit

🥗Healthier: frozen fruit

💰Cheaper: canned fruit

Canned fruit can be more affordable and long-lasting.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds are often less expensive than mixed nuts.

Soak buckwheat grains in water and apple cider vinegar overnight if necessary.

Rinse the soaked buckwheat under cold water.

Bring buckwheat and plant-based milk to a boil in a pan.

Let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until buckwheat is translucent and soft.

Turn off the heat and add chia seeds and cranberries.

Let the porridge rest for 5 minutes until the remaining liquid is absorbed and chia seeds are sufficiently absorbed.

Serve warm with fresh fruit, cinnamon, and honey if desired.
