Servings:
1-2 servingssimple faux-oatmeal recipe. great for sunday brunch, or mornings you need more than fruit.
Ingredients:
1 cup buckwheat groats, covered in water, soaked for about 30 mins
1 golden apple, roughly chopped and cored
1 tablespoon date
paste (or one large date, or 2 small dates)
cinnamon to taste
sea salt (optional, to taste)
4 large mint or spearmint leaves, more if smaller
1 teaspoon slivered
ginger, skin peeled
filtered water, to blend
Preparation:
strain and rinse soaked buckwheat groats. they should be relatively easy to break apart with your fingers.
STEP ONE: place 1/2 of apple, buckwheat, and sea salt in food processor. blend and slowly add water, just enough to blend, not so it gets soupy (about 1/4 cup). clear the sides with a spoon and continue blending. stop. keep it there.
STEP TWO:
(i use
a magic bullet for this next step, but if you don’t have a small blender, simply do stage 2 before stage 1 in your food processor, set mixture aside, and do the buckwheat mixture next.)
blend dates, cinnamon, ginger, and mint with a little water, to make a syrup.
add half the syrup to the food processor batch. blend in food food processor briefly.
STEP THREE: assemble
pour the buckwheat cereal into a bowl. drizzle syrup over.
you can top with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and extra mint leaves.
bon appetit. =)

you can actually even soak it for less. buckwheat takes no time at all to soften.

Only 30 minutes of soaking? I've got to try this, this looks and sounds great! ;d
