Blueberry Cardamom Creamy Buckwheat Cereal

I love eating this warming and nourishing cereal occasionally. It’s great for mornings that require a little more energy. You could also use steel cut oats too.

Recipe

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 1/2 cups buckwheat groats pulsed in a blender

1/2 teaspoon cardamon

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

3 cups coconut milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 1/2 cups blueberries

Place all ingredients together in a large sauce pan or crock pot. Cook over the stove top on medium low heat until the groats are soft and cooked through. About 15-20 minutes. If cooking in a crock pot cook on high for 1 hour. You can top with more coconut milk, hemp seeds, chia seeds, chopped almonds and a little coconut sugar. Serves 3-4.
