Rich vanilla buckwheat porridge with warming cinnamon spice. This breakfast is inspired by a melktert.
WHAT IS MELKTERT?
Melktert (known as milk tart in English) is a traditional South African dessert made with a biscuit or pastry base, a milk-based custard filling and dusted with ground cinnamon.
It is rich, creamy and light, with a warming hint of cinnamon spice.
I used these flavours as inspiration for this breakfast.
A dessert inspired breakfast....
YOU WILL NEED
raw buckwheat groats
ground cinnamon
ground nutmeg
vanilla paste
vanilla protein powder, unsweetened
plantbased plain yoghurt
maple syrup
AND TO SERVE
your favourite granola, preferably homemade
ground cinnamon
YOU WILL ALSO NEED
a highspeed blender or food processor
serving bowl
a sieve for rinsing and draining the buckwheat groats
EASY AS PIE
Soak the buckwheat overnight in cold water.
When ready to serve simply drain and rinse the buckwheat and add all the filling ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour over granola, dust with cinnamon and enjoy!
SOAKING THE BUCKWHEAT
The reason for soaking the buckwheat is to soften the buckwheat which helps to digest them easier and helps get that smooth consistency when blending.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
If you don't have vanilla protein powder, do not worry. Simply add more vanilla paste if you want to more stronger vanilla flavour.
Add more yoghurt if the mixture is too thick.
