Method

Rinse the buckwheat until the water runs clear, then cut the pumpkin² into 1.5 cm cubes.
Place the buckwheat and pumpkin² in the pot, pour in milk³ and 50 ml of water per serving, then add sugar and salt.
Set to the 'Milk³ Porridge' or 'Grains' mode for 40 minutes.
Stir, mashing the pumpkin² slightly, then top with butter⁴.

Tips

Why it works: Rinse buckwheat to remove bitterness. Unrinsed grains make the porridge taste harsh and gritty. Cut pumpkin into even cubes so it softens uniformly without burning.
Substitutions: Use coconut milk instead of regular milk for a richer taste; swap sugar for 30g mashed banana if you prefer natural sweetness.
Common mistakes: Overcooking turns pumpkin mushy and gray; check after 35 minutes. It should be tender but still hold shape.
Storing and reheating: Eats best fresh but lasts 3 days in the fridge; reheat in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring once.
Serve with: Pair with a glass of warm chamomile tea for a mild, comforting breakfast.

In short
