Following the popularity of my Carrot Cake Oatmeal recipe, I wanted to make a gluten-free version with my favourite seed. Buckwheat has more protein than rice, corn, millet or wheat and is high in the essential amino acids arginine and lysine, in which most cereals are deficient. Its unique amino acid profile gives buckwheat the ability to boost the protein value of beans and grains eaten on the same day – which in my book makes it a bit of a wonder food. This bowl of creamy deliciousness is packed with benefits for your heart, hair, skin, digestion and blood sugar control…but best of all, it actually tastes like cake.
