Whole Groat Vegan Breakfast Porridge

Prep Time 20 minutes
Soak Overnight 7 hours
Servings: 4 Cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1 cup oat groats
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 pitted dates
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp maca powder
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • Fresh fruit to serve
  • Honey
  • homemade almond milk and additional cinnamon (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cashews, buckwheat groats, and oat groats and cover with at least 2 inches of water. Let the seeds soak overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. In the morning, drain the seeds of any remaining water and  rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear and smoothly (the buckwheat groats will obtain a slimy coating while soaking).
  3. Add to the bowl of a food processor with 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the dates, cinnamon, maca powder, and cloves. Blend to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning according to your preferences.
  5. Divide cereal into bowls, and top each bowl with fresh fruit of your choice. If you wish to serve the cereal warm, heat the portions you’re using in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Add fruit if you wish it to be cooked as well, or serve with the warm or cold cereal.
  6. Add optional toppings as desired.

Notes

Store remaining cereal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
