Instructions

1
Rinse the buckwheat groats well under running water. In a saucepan, mix them with plant-based milk, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat for about 12–15 minutes, until the groats soften and absorb the liquid.
2
While the porridge is cooking, heat coconut oil in a pan. Add the sliced pears and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat for 4–6 minutes, until the pears soften and lightly brown.
3
Just before the porridge is done cooking, stir in the flax seeds for extra creamy texture and omega-3 fatty acids.
4
Divide the porridge into two bowls, top with the prepared pears, sprinkle with chopped walnuts, and drizzle with a little maple syrup if desired.
