Cook buckwheat groats for breakfast with these delicious savory buckwheat breakfast bowls! A delicious combination of buckwheat and nutrient-dense kale, mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes for a nutritionally well-rounded breakfast.
Buckwheat groats are great for breakfast because they are SO quick.
The first few times I cooked them I literally burned them because they cooked so fast, I wasn't expecting them to be ready.
Seriously! Buckwheat takes about 3 minutes on the stove. Maybe a minute or two longer for a more porridge-like texture.
So if you're looking for a quick breakfast in the morning, buckwheat is a great choice!
Buckwheat is a type of seed.
It's similar to quinoa or amaranth.
Even though it has "wheat" in the name, buckwheat is completely gluten-free. It's a seed, not a grain.
Buckwheat is very nutrient dense with many vitamins and minerals. And plenty of fiber!
Buckwheat makes a great breakfast because it cooks up like a porridge. Similar to oatmeal or grits/polenta.
Step 1. In a large skillet, sauté the onion with a few tablespoons of vegetable broth.
Step 2. When the onion is soft, add in the kale, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile add the buckwheat groats, 1 cup of vegetable broth, and 2 cups of water to a medium pot. Bring to a simmer and cook 2-3 minutes until the buckwheat is tender.
Step 4. Serve the buckwheat and kale mixture together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
Yes! Buckwheat is not a grain, so it's a naturally gluten-free breakfast option.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Reheat this buckwheat breakfast in the microwave. If needed, stir in a bit of vegetable broth to return the buckwheat to a creamy state.

*Often you will find sundried tomatoes are stored in oil, but if you look in the dry goods section of the grocery store, you can find sundried tomatoes in packages with no additives. Choose these whenever possible! If you can’t find oil-free sundried tomatoes, use a paper towel to soak up as much oil as you can.
