Instructions

1
Dry-roast the buckwheat groats in a pot (about 2 minutes) until fragrant. This will bring out their nutty flavor.
2
Pour in the plant-based milk, add a pinch of salt and vanilla. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered for 12–15 minutes, until the groats absorb the liquid and become soft.
3
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and add the sliced apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
4
Sauté the apples over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized. If the apples aren't sweet enough, add a teaspoon of maple syrup.
5
Divide the cooked buckwheat porridge into two bowls. Top with the sautéed apples and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
6
Serve warm. For extra creaminess, you can drizzle a bit more plant-based milk on top.
