  • 6 Tablespoons milk or milk alternative
  • 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder

Toppings

  • 2 Tablespoons toasted shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Soak buckwheat groats in 1 Cup water for 6 hours – Cover and store in fridge while soaking.

  • Before serving, top each with 1 Tablespoon of toasted shredded coconut, 1 Tablespoon chocolate chunks, and 1 Tablespoon toasted pecans.

Notes

  • When I use a milk alternative in this recipe, I really like hazelnut milk.
  • For best texture, make sure to rinse and drain buckwheat well after soaking.
  • For nutrition facts, I used 2% milk.
  • Strawberries are a delicious addition to these. Just add sliced berries when adding the other toppings.
  • I'll often eat a salad before enjoying these to get in a serving of veggies at breakfast.
