Buckwheat is a great alternative to oatmeal for when you want something that's filling and warm; it's also a nice option if you have gluten or wheat sensitivities. The fancy toppings add pops of flavor and nutrition, like omega-3s and protein, but feel free to mix things up with different combinations of fruits, seeds, nuts, and yogurts.
Ingredients
For the cereal:
- 1/4 cup cream of buckwheat cereal
- 3/4 cup water or milk of choice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries
- 2-3 tablespoon whole-milk yogurt (I prefer a plain sheep's milk yogurt, but feel free to use your favorite)
- Honey, for drizzling
For the seed mix:
- 3 tablespoon raw buckwheat groats
- 4 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 2-3 tablespoon chia seeds

Directions
Instructions
- Step 1
In a small pot over medium heat, stir the cream of buckwheat cereal into boiling milk or water and add a pinch of salt.
- Step 2
While stirring, let cook for about 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the cereal is cooked and creamy.
- Step 3
If you like your hot cereal creamier, add water or milk 1-2 tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Step 4
Spoon the hot cereal into your breakfast bowl, or to-go container. Top with the yogurt, freeze-dried raspberries, and seed mix. Drizzle with honey. Let sit a moment to let the chia seeds bloom, or enjoy right way.
