Buckwheat Breakfast Bowl by Chef Mareya

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 Cup uncooked buckwheat, rinsed 
• 2 Cups homemade almond milk
• 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 4 Dates, pitted and finely chopped 

TOPPINGS: 

• 2 Tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut 
• 2 Tablespoons dried currants 
• 2 Tablespoons walnuts, crushed
• Ground Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the buckwheat and 2 cups water and cook until tender, about 30 minutes.
2. In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cooked buckwheat, cinnamon, and dates. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the milk has somewhat reduced and the mixture has thickened.
3. For each serving, scoop 1/2 cup of the steeped buckwheat into a bowl and pour 1/4 cup of the milk over it. Top with a spoonful of shredded coconut, some currants and walnuts, and a pinch of cinnamon.
