Farro Almond & Blueberry Breakfast Cereal

Farro is often served as a side dish but it's a great choice for breakfast, too. In this overnight cereal recipe, nutty whole-grain farro is joined by fresh, sweet blueberries and maple syrup. Unsalted, toasted almonds add a welcome crunch!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup whole-grain farro
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • dash ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup unsalted whole almonds, toasted (see tip) and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine farro and enough water to cover. Soak in the refrigerator overnight. Drain off excess water.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine milk, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Bring to boiling. Stir in farro; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes or until farro is tender.
  3. Stir in blueberries, 2 tablespoons of the almonds, the maple syrup and lemon peel. Cover and let stand 5 minutes or until blueberries are warmed. Spoon cereal into serving dishes. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons almonds.
