Ingredients (Serves 1):

Base

  • 1/4 cup (40g) Cream of Buckwheat

  • 1 cup (240g) almond or walnut milk

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

After cooking

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed

  • 1/2 Tbsp ground flaxseed

  • 1/2 Tbsp chia seeds

  • 1 tsp tahini

Toppings

  • 1 tsp pumpkin seeds, lightly crushed

  • 1–2 tsp hemp seeds

  • Light dusting of cacao powder

  • Drizzle of honey

Directions:

  1. In a small pot, bring the milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a gentle simmer.

  2. Whisk in the Cream of Buckwheat, stirring continuously to prevent clumping.

  3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring until thick and creamy.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in the mashed banana, flaxseed, chia seeds, and tahini.

  5. Let sit for 3–5 minutes to allow the chia to soften and the bowl to thicken fully.

  6. Top with pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, a gentle dusting of cacao, and a drizzle of honey.
