Total Time: 10 hrs 8 mins Preparation Time: 8 mins Cook Time: 10 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 1/3 cup buckwheat groats (not kasha, which is toasted)
• 5 dates
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 1 medium apple, sliced into quarters (i like tart ones!)
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1 -2 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional but yummy) (optional)
• 2 tablespoons walnuts or 2 tablespoons any other nuts or 2 tablespoons seeds, of your choice

Recipe

• 1 note: this makes a generous bowlful, so for a rather more manageable amount, use 1/4 cup buckwheat groats and reduce everything else slightly.
• 2 soak the grits and dates overnight in 1 1/4 cups of water. in the morning, drain off and reserve the soaking liquid.
• 3 put groats and dates in a food processor or blender (if you have a mini-blender it comes in handy here!). add 2 of the apple quarters, the juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid. blend till fairly smooth.
• 4 pour into a bowl. finely dice 1 of the remaining apple quarters (you don't need the last quarter so munch away) and stir into the cereal.
• 5 top with coconut and walnuts, or whatever you like. almonds are pretty good. so -- enjoy!
