It’s simple and it works. That’s what we all want, right? Something fool-proof, easy, and will never let us down. That’s what this recipe is to me. My fool-proof 100% perfect breakfast when I don’t know what to make (which never happens for breakfast, but sometimes I just can’t decide, so this comes in handy). Most importantly, this is my fool-proof travel breakfast. When ever I am away from home, in a hotel, visiting relatives, this is my go-to super easy yet so delicious breakfast to pack. All it requires is a plastic baggie to hold the ingredients, a microwaveable bowl, a spoon, and water. No refrigeration or difficult cooking required.

It has never let me down once and I can say this is a 100% tried and true recipe. I’ve been making it forever, yet I am just getting around to sharing! It’s comforting to know that when you are away from home and focused on things other than what to have for breakfast, you know that this is packed and there and will be ready in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Plus it’s safe, gluten-free, soy-free, and vegan…just how I like it 😉

Really the flavors and creamy texture just add to the homey comfort this hot breakfast brings. It warms my soul inside and out. Chocolatey, peanutty, and o so creamy from the fabulous buckwheat. A hot porridge if you will, that any Goldilocks will love 😉 A perfect way to ground yourself and prepare for adventures outside of the home. And let me tell you, this beats quinoa flakes or oatmeal ten-fold. Buckwheat cereal is like to other. The texture, the creaminess, the unique subtle taste. Comfort in a bowl.

When I travel, I measure out all the ingredients and place them in a plastic baggie. Then all I have to do is dump the contents in to a bowl when I’m ready and measure out the water. The perfect “instant” buckwheat packs! Breakfast IS the most important (and best) meal of the day, so even when I’m traveling, I must have a good breakfast. Why settle for dry cold cereal that got crushed in your suitcase? (I’ve done that before and it was no fun). This will satisfy and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside…promise 😉

So tell me:

+ What is your go-to travel breakfast?

+ Do you have a breakfast that will always leave you feeling warm, cozy, and “at-home” even if you’re not?

    I’ve never tried buckwheat cereal (to my knowledge anyway :P). This looks and sounds delicious. Who doesn’t love peanut butter and chocolate. Bliss for breakfast. Yum.

    Chocolate chips on a breakfast bowl! Yes, please! You know, I would have never found or heard of the Creamy Buckwheat Hot Cereal if it weren’t for you. So glad you mentioned them, totally love your orange chocolate breakfast buckwheat and I can’t wait to try this one too!
    I’m pinning & sharing. Loving all of your awesome!

    I actually buy buckwheat in bulk! Mine looks like big grains of rice, so I am guessing that this buckwheat you linked to is ground coarsely? I usually grind it in a coffee grinder to make buckwheat flour.

      It’s ground a bit more yes, this is a specific cut for a creamy quick hot cereal.

      Yes, this is! Bob’s makes it like quick oats so they cook up fast in the microwave and have less of a buckwheaty taste! So creamy and delish!

    Now that I have run out of oatmeal and can’t replace it yet, I’m going to have to start turning to other grains I have to take it’s place in the meantime. I have whole buckwheat still, not the cereal, but perhaps that will suffice

      Well you can’t go it in the microwave and the flavor will be off and much more buckwheat strong, so no.

    Hi Rebecca,
    I have heard of the creamy buckwheat, but I sure am going to check it out and try it. This is a dish I would really like to try myself. Do you think you could substitute the peanut flour for coconut flour – I can’t have any nuts? Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays Blog Hop.

    Oh my goodnes! This looks amazing! We ordered some buckwheat cereal and it has been sitting in our pantry ever since. But now I know how to dress it up and make it ultra delicious! 🙂 thanks for the recipe!

    Oohhh la, la girly – you had me at chocolate and peanut butter <3

    When I'm traveling, my go-to breakfast is either overnight oats (if I have a fridge or can buy yogurt) or if I'm traveling locally – breakfast bakes! Breakfast bakes are my "at home" breakfast because I miss them SO much when we're traveling overseas! They're not even warm but they just feel homely to me.

      Buckwheat, quinoa flakes, oatmeal’s, they’re all great travel options!
      I can’t want to post the breakfast bake recipe I made the other day! It was amazing! Now I know why you love them so much 😉

    I’m sold! Anything with chocolate and peanuts has to be a winner in my book. What a great idea to pack some away when you are away from home. Thanks for sharing your tired and true recipe with us.
    Blessings,
    Shari

    Sounds good to me Rebecca. Like others here……..I’ve never tried buckwheat cereal, but you’ve convinced me that I need to try it. Chocolate is always a great way to start………or end my day.
