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
Instructions
- 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.
- Spoon the farro pudding into bowls.
- Top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, yogurt, or an extra drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
Notes
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.
