Banana Nut Breakfast Farro
Description
Banana Nut Breakfast Farro uses cooked farro that is gently warmed in milk in the microwave to soften its chewy texture and create a creamy base. Vanilla extract and a sweetener such as brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey are stirred in for subtle sweetness. Fresh banana slices add natural sugar and softness, while chopped walnuts provide contrast with their crisp texture.
The preparation is straightforward: the farro is mixed with milk and heated in intervals for even cooking and stirring. Once thickened, flavorings are combined and topped with banana and walnuts. The result is a filling, mildly sweet breakfast cereal with whole grain benefits and pleasant textural contrasts.
This dish works well served warm and can be customized by swapping nut types or sweeteners as desired.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup farro $0.25, cooked
- 1/2 cup milk $0.19, dairy, soy, or almond
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract $0.07
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar $0.02, or maple syrup, or honey
- 1 banana $0.21
- 2 Tbsp walnuts $0.29, chopped
Instructions
- Add the cooked farro and milk to a bowl. Microwave on high for one minute (watching to prevent overflow) then stir. Cook for 2 minutes more, in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. After 3 minutes total, the farro should have absorbed some of the milk, be softer in texture, and the milk slightly more starchy and thick.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener (brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey).
- Slice the banana and place it on top. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the bowl, and enjoy.
