Creamy & Chewy Barley Breakfast

I had left over barley from dinner so I decided to incorporate it into my breakfast. Super creamy, super chewy, super delicious!

Creamy & Chewy Barley Breakfast

Original

Creamy & Chewy Barley Breakfast

Ingredients

  1. 1/3 c cooked pearled barley
    2 tablespoons raw buckwheat groats, ground into powder in a coffee grinder
    1 tsp ground flax seed
    1/4 c oat milk (any other milk will work)
    1/2 c water
    cinammon

Directions

Add the first five ingredients into a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute, reduce heat and stir constantly for 4-5 minutes until a super thick consistency forms. Add cinnamon, I just sprinkle some in so I can't tell you how much I put in, and stir well for about 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. I topped mine with 1/2 tablespoon of homemade raw almond butter. This breakfast was super creamy, chewy from the barley, and oh so delicious. You can eat it warm, or let it cool and eat as a dessert (kind of like rice pudding). Or a snack. Or dinner. Or really any time of the day cuz it is so gooooood :) Adding in some blueberries or strawberries would make this amazing too. I usually add bananas into my oatmeal/buckwheat breakfasts but this turned out so creamy and good on its own so it just wasn't necessary.

Look how thick this is! My spoon won't go through the "buckley meal" (buckwheat + barley hehehe)
