Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This Farro Breakfast Pudding is both filling and nutritious, making it the perfect way to fuel your day. Farro is a whole grain that’s high in fiber and protein, providing long-lasting energy and supporting digestive health. It’s naturally chewy with a slightly nutty flavor, making it the ideal base for a warm, comforting breakfast. Plus, it’s easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste with various toppings and sweeteners.

Ingredients

For the Pudding:

1 cup farro (pearled or semi-pearled)
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Toppings (optional):

Fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
Sliced banana
Chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
Chia seeds or flaxseeds
Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt
Drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Directions

Make the Farro Pudding:

Rinse the farro under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed farro, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the farro is tender and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. If the farro is still too firm or the mixture seems too dry, add a little more milk and continue cooking until the desired consistency is reached.
Once the farro is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

Serve and Top:
5. Spoon the farro pudding into bowls.
6. Top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, yogurt, or an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.

Servings and Timing
This recipe makes about 2 servings. Prep time is 5 minutes, and cook time is about 30 minutes, so the total time is approximately 35 minutes.

Variations
I like to:

Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter to the pudding for extra richness and protein.
Use coconut milk for a richer, tropical flavor.
Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes or dark chocolate shavings for a sweet indulgence.
Mix in a handful of dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or apricots for extra sweetness and texture.

Storage/Reheating
Store any leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to bring back the creamy consistency.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the pudding the night before and store it in the fridge. In the morning, just reheat it and add your toppings for a quick, nutritious breakfast.

Can I use other grains instead of farro?
Yes! You can substitute farro with other grains like quinoa, steel-cut oats, or bulgur. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the grain, so adjust accordingly.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Farro is not gluten-free, but you can substitute it with gluten-free grains such as quinoa or rice. Make sure to adjust the liquid-to-grain ratio and cooking time to match the new grain.

Conclusion
Nutritious Farro Breakfast Pudding is a hearty, healthy, and customizable way to start your day. The farro provides fiber and protein, while the toppings add freshness, crunch, and extra nutrients. Whether you enjoy it sweet or savory, with fruit or nuts, this breakfast pudding will leave you feeling satisfied and ready to take on the day!
