Baked Buckwheat Breakfast Recipe
In Winter your body leans towards having warming foods. This doesn’t mean they have to be heavy. Starting the day on a cold morning with a warm and healthy breakfast is a great way to nourish your body. It’s like a healthy hug on the inside, still leaving you feeling light.
Using buckwheat this baked breakfast recipe will keep you satisfied and your energy levels up without that sluggish feeling afterwards. (Despite it’s name buckwheat is in fact gluten free.)
As I share in our Nourish From the Inside Out – Online Program, including protein in your breakfast meal will help to keep your blood sugar levels steady. It also helps to reduce mid morning sugar cravings.
The recipe uses eggs and collagen powder from Thankfully Nourished to boost the protein content and satisfy you for longer. (Use code LIVELOVE for 10% off their Collagen powder).
I add a sprinkle of cinnamon just before baking which fills your kitchen with the most amazing scent. Cinnamon can also assist in helping to control blood sugar levels.
Serve this baked buckwheat breakfast recipe with your favourite toppings such as coconut yoghurt, your choice of plant-based milk, warmed berries, chopped nuts, toasted coconut or fresh seasonal fruit.

This is even better than it looks! I added blueberries (before baking) and a tiny bit extra coconut milk, because I was afraid it was going to be dry, but it’s not dry at all! Topped it with some nut/seed granola and drizzled in coconut milk and it is divine! Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you so much for making the recipe! So glad it was enjoyed. It sounds absolutely delicious 🙂
Can I make this egg free?
You can make this baked buckwheat recipe egg free but it will be more crumbly like a crumble/ granola texture but still delicious. The egg is to help bind/hold together the bake and add a source of protein but can be adjusted to suit.
