Super quick Pumpkin Porridge | Vegan + Gluten Free | Vanilla And Bean

I want to talk with y’all about buckwheat groats this week. I know, it’s not been too long since I last posted a porridge recipe. But what’s one to do? You know, you just gotta share what you love with friends. Well this is one of those things.

And I’ve been making this version since roasting pumpkin a few weeks ago. But don’t worry, it won’t be pumpkin recipes every week from now until Thanksgiving…

maybe one more. Okay… two (eeeeek).

My love of pumpkin runs deep. Just look inside my freezer and you’ll probably have a few frozen blocks of pumpkin fall on your feet. Yes, it’s happened and it hurts. So watch out!

Have you given porridge a go? Or do you crave it all the time? I’ve been alternating green smoothies among porridge, oatmeal and occasionally eggs. But I find what I crave most of all is a bowl-full of porridge.

Never-mind the weather outside, porridge frequents my refrigerator now since discovering how easy it is to whip up, it’s versatility, health support, and how creamy and flavorful porridge is.

Lets talk ease of whip-up.

Soak the groats and pecans overnight. Throw the groats, nuts, spices, dates, pumpkin and maple syrup in a blender. Pulse or blend, and taste for seasoning and/or sweet adjustment.

For a grab and go breakfast, spoon into individual serving jars with lids so it’s ready when you are. Or serve in individual bowls with your topping du jour.

It’s that easy.

Porridge is versatile. Think about what flavors you enjoy and toss those into the blender with the soaked kasha and nuts. Don’t like pecans? Use walnuts or cashews. Prefer chocolate in your bowl? Omit the pumpkin and add raw cacao and some banana.

Porridge can be served warm or cold. I prefer cold porridge, because I’m hangry when I wake up and it’s on the ready. But if a hot breakkie is how you roll, warm it up with a bit of milk or water and you’re set.

This recipe is simply a base, a suggestion.  There is so much that can be done. Change it up and step outside of that breakfast box!

Texture is a big deal right? So for porridge, you decide what level of texture you prefer. I like a smooth consistency so I pulverize the ingredients in the VitaMix until the porridge is smooth. If more texture is your thing, pulse the ingredients in and use the tamper or scrape down the container until the desired consistency is reached.

Now that the porridge is done, lets talk toppings. Because it’s all about the toppings, right?

Dice up some apple or pear or any other seasonal fruit or berry, toss it in cinnamon and add it to the bowl. Next, add a bit of nuts, dried fruit, seeds, cocoa-nibs and finish the bowl off with a good drizzle of maple syrup.

This is the fun part of porridge. Mix it up and enjoy the textures and flavors of the season.

Now that we have porridge cleared up, this version anyway, will you give it a go? See if you like it. I’d love to hear from you! Or if you’re eating porridge, what’s your favorite way to prepare it?

    Holy moly, Traci do I need to visit your beautiful blog more often. I’ve been trying to make a delicious pumpkin porridge recipe for weeks now, but I think I’ve just found it here!

    Hip hip hooray for buckwheat groats – they’re delicious. I may have to try this with stone cut oats, as I don’t have any buckwheat at the moment – but I have everything else. Hooray!

    Honestly, in my mind porridge never seemed like an appetizing meal just because I literally grew up thinking of it as a really plain version of oatmeal. I never ate porridge growing up and the only mention of it was in the story of Goldilocks! :p BUT…since you made your last porridge, all preconceived notions of what porridge was were thrown out the window. You make porridge look like a big bowl full of all things scrumptious and drool worthy. It’s like I’m staring at a big bowl of cake or something. How could something like this pumpkin porridge be plain or boring?? NEVER! This is just a work of art. You need to work for some kind of groats or cereal grain company and create photo ads for them with these recipes because wowzers…you have me sold on porridge for sure!! I love all of your additions. Even though you pulverized to create a smooth consistency, you still get lots of texture with all those toppings – I love it! Absolutely stunning job, Traci. Also, fantastic podcast interview! I love that you are so in tune with keeping a balance and that you always remain true to yourself. I think you nailed it when you discussed focusing on just doing the best version of you rather than comparing yourself to others. Thanks for that delightful talk <3

      Oh, I get it Beeta. Me too. I would have never considered porridge. Do me it just sounded like a big bowl of goop! :D But oh my. HAhhhaaaa “staring at a big bowl of cake!” I KNOW! My thoughts exactly!! It just sucks you in! The first time I had porridge, I was converted. Buckwheat is incredibly flavorful and is nutrient dense. A fantastic way to start the day. Just like you said, the porridge itself is smooth and creamy, but its the toppings that give it so much texture… and they add the wow factor. Thank you for your kind comments, Beeta, and listing for a whole hour, to my babbling! :D So happy you enjoyed it! :D

    I always throw a bit of buckwheat groats into my granola, but I’ve never actually made porridge with it. I was just listening to The Splendid Table podcast the other day, and they were talking about serving a buckwheat porridge for dessert, served with some sweet potatoes. Anyway, I need to try making a porridge soon.

    By the way, I LOVED listening to the podcast, Traci! I share SO many of your sentiments! Have a great weekend!

    Traci this porridge (with your stunning photos!) is just begging me to step outside my breakfast box! I have never really gotten behind porridge, I think probably because I associate it so much with tramping/hiking holidays and boring oats + milk combinations, but this looks like the complete other end of the spectrum of porridge land – so much flavour going on!! Love the idea of using those classic autumn combinations in healthy breakfast form – spices + pumpkin + maple and dates (caramel?!) + apples/pears sounds like heaven.Will be reserving my judgement on porridge until I have tried it!!

    love the serene lighting and peaceful feeling I get from these beautiful photos Traci. I am a dedicated porridge eater in the morning (usually 5 out of 7 days) but I’m always open to switching up the contents. Love the idea of puréed pumpkin with those warming seasonal ingredients…The only thing that doesn’t flip my switch in the morning is chocolate (though I will quite happily eat it at ALL other times of day ;d) but as you say, completely versatile and so much fun to pick and choose and change it up. Thank you for all of these ideas!

    I think buckwheat is truly magical. In addition to making porridge, I love using it my granola recips. I also love kasha (toasted buckwheat). Have you ever tried it?
    BTW, I am dying to get my hands on a Vitamix. I think it is such a great idea to pulverize it to give it a smooth texture.
    It looks so so yummy! Perfect for fall, for sure…

    I’ll be honest, I haven’t had porridge since my grandfather was alive… and he passed away a long time ago. Porridge in the mornings was his thing, and I’ve always convinced myself I could never make it as well as he did. But, you have inspired me to give it a go! This pumpkin porridge looks absolutely fantastic, Traci… like everything you make! I’m loving all the toppings and nom noms you loaded this up with!

    I love how adaptable this recipe is and so perfect for those mornings when you just do not want to wake up early and slog it in the kitchen! I like how it can be eaten cold or warm. Besides, it is so adaptable! I can’t wait to give it a go!

      Oh it’s great for those morning when you just don’t have the mojo to do it all (so many of those!). I hope you enjoy it and fix it up how you love it Samina! :D

    I just made buckwheat today, because I saw the package in my pantry and felt bad for not cooking it very often(I just need more recipes). This porridge looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! Great that you can serve it warm or cold. Love how smooth it is! Pinning of course!
