Apple Cinnamon Buckwheat Porridge

Apple Cinnamon Buckwheat porridge is an easy and delicious breakfast that will start your day off right. Buckwheat, despite the name, has nothing to do with wheat, and it’s not a grain, but a seed. Therefore, buckwheat is gluten-free and safe to eat if you’re on a gluten-free diet. Buckwheat Porridge keeps really well refrigerated in an air-tight container, so make a pot ahead, then portion out in air-tight containers for the week. You can also add in the coconut yogurt and almond butter, but add diced apples and roasted hazelnuts just before serving (or in the morning) so they keep the crunch.
