Gluten-Free Maple Buckwheat Breakfast Bowl (for tots!)

This bowl gives your little one a tasty start to their day. I have learned that rotating whole grains is very important when fulfilling the nutritional needs of children with extensive food allergies. Not only does a rotation provide a variety of nutrients, but it also gives your child a variety of flavors (which is key to getting them excited about mealtime). This bowl is so simple to make. I have included an image of the buckwheat breakfast cereal I use (buckwheat is actually gluten-free and wheat-free!). Enjoy!

I use Pocono Organic Cream of Buckwheat for this recipe. I find it at my local health food store.
