Good morning!!
Sorry this post is going up a little later than usual. Today is my late day at work, so that means I get to sleep in a little later since I work later. I took full advantage of that this morning!
Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday!! I’m hoping that whatever this is passes quickly. Sorry I’m behind on my responses. I read them all… and I will get back to you. Pinky promise. ;)
I have been eating a ton of creamy buckwheat lately. Plus, it is easy to go down even when I don’t really feel like eating!
Creamy Buckwheat Breakfast Bowl
- 1/3 cup creamy buckwheat cereal (or mix 1/2 buckwheat, 1/2 brown rice cereal)
- 1 cup water
- cinnamon
- 1 ripe banana, chopped
- 1/4-1/3 cup pumpkin (depends on your preference)
- protein powder (optional)
- pumpkin pie spice
- milk of choice
- toppings- nut butter, raisins, craisins, chocolate chips, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, get creative!
Bring water, cereal, and a few dashes of cinnamon to a boil. Reduce heat to low/ medium low.
Add in 1/2 of your chopped ripe banana. Allow to boil for 10 minutes. Stir frequently and add more water as necessary.
Once your 10 minutes is up, remove from heat. Stir in protein powder, if using, and pumpkin.
Pour into bowl.
Top with the other half of the banana and desired toppings. I went with sunflower butter and hemp seeds. We will chat more about those tomorrow!!
Pour cold milk over the top and eat! Coconut milk would be heavenly with this!!
What are your favorite toppings over your hot cereal?
Pumpkin in your breakfast… yay or nay?

Mmm, sounds delish! I love peanut butter in my hot cereal!
Oh me too!!
I’ve never had buckwheat, but it looks delicious! I love adding pumpkin to my hot cereal, so good
You would love buckwheat!!
I have never had buckwheat before but you always make it look so good.
I think you would really like it Alex!
I’ve never had buckwheat! It sounds delicious though. I’m all about pumpkin in my oats – yum! I almost always add at least a half of a banana to my oatmeal and nut butter is a MUST!
Great minds think alike!! I think you would like the buckwheat! It is like a mix between oat bran and oats!
Good morning! Right now that looks fabulous, I haven’t tried pumpkin in the morning but that is because I am a creature of oatmeal habit…with apple and berries on top.
This really looks good however and I LOVE buckwheat flour.
I hope you have a great day and are feeling well!
I’m a creature of habit too!! I think you would love pumpkin in your oats!
Yay for sleeping in! Hopefully that takes care of the bug you caught
Sleep always helps for me.
Sleep is really helping me right now! I’m feeling much better!
This looks so good! Almond butter is a must have for toppings!
Agreed!!!
I’ve been eating a crazy ton of buckwheat as well! Its so delicious!
I’m glad you got the chance to get some more sleep this morning:)
Buckwheat is so good isn’t it?!?!
Def pumpkin in my breakfast
Love pouring some Silk Light Vanilla on top of my bowls of oats, hot + cold!
I love the hot + cold too!!
I am all about the oatmeal with bananas and peanut butter
I also add flax, vanilla, and almond or hemp milk.
I’m all about the almond or hemp milk too!
I don’t think I’ve ever done buckwheat! I was thinking as I wrote my TVP “oatmeal” post today that I wanted to do it with pumpkin. May try to merge our two recipes this weekend!
Oh let me know if you do!!! Your TVP “oats” looked good! You would love buckwheat!
I opened a can of pumpkin this evening (!!!) and plan to top tomorrow’s breakfast with some (I’m thinking french toast). I can’t wait!!
Oh man… pumpkin on french toast?? Yes please!
I haven’t had hot cereal in the longesttt time, but i’ll say PB! Can’t ever go wrong w/ PB topped on anything
Hot cereal is a must here! I agree about the PB!
I love pumpkin in cereal! Do you use the Bob’s Red Mill buckwheat cereal, or what kind?
Yes! Bob’s Red Mill. It is so good!
