Instructions
Dump ingredients
- Rinse the buckwheat groats under running tap water and drain them well using a colander or mesh strainer. Transfer the rinsed buckwheat groats into the 6 quart instant pot insert.
- Add the chopped ripe banana, the alomnd milk, rinsed raisins and ground cinnamon.
Pressure cook
- Secure the lid of the instant pot, seal the valve and pressure cook on high for just 5 mins. Once the pressure cooking cycle is over the instant pot will begin to beep. Wait for 10 mins natural pressure release and than release the rest of the pressure manually by moving the valve from the sealing to the venting position. Open the lid carefully when the floating metal pin on top of the lid drops.
- Give everything a good stir and mash the banana with the back of your ladle to incorporate it well into the porridge. At this stage you can add more almond milk to thin out the porridge as per your liking. You can also add a few tablespoons maple syrup to increase the sweetness of the buckwheat porridge. We didnot add any extra plant based milk or maple syrup. Serve the porridge immediately with chopped nuts, berries, fruits, nut butter.
