Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • 2-3 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground cardamom
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced rhubarb (about 1 large stalk)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon filtered water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 4 green figs, cut into wedges*
  • Pepitas

Instruction

  • Pour the buckwheat groats into an airtight container. Pour 2-3 cups water over top or as much is needed to completely cover the groats. Stir in apple cider vinegar. Soak for at least 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Once the buckwheat groats have soaked and softened, strain them in a colander and rinse thoroughly, making sure to rinse off any gelatinous material that accumulated during soaking.
  • Transfer the groats to a high-powered blender along with the almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter, chia seeds, coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cardamom. Pulse everything in the blender to desired smoothness.
