A sweet and nourishing breakfast is as easy as 1-2-3 with this simple recipe. Kasha, or toasted buckwheat groats, have a texture that’s similar to risotto with a more pronounced flavor. Here, it’s paired with a warm cherry compote and nutty hemp hearts.

Note: Hemp hearts are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contamination can be an issue.
