Ingredients
  

1 cup farro (pearled or semi-pearled)

3 cups almond milk (or preferred milk)

1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates, chopped

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as pistachios or almonds) for topping

Fresh fruit (like sliced bananas or berries) for serving

A sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Rinse and Cook the Farro: In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the farro under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed farro and 3 cups of almond milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

    Simmer the Mixture: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the farro is tender and has absorbed most of the milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and check the consistency.

      Add Flavorings: When the farro is cooked, stir in the chopped dates, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Cook the mixture for an additional 5-10 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the pudding to thicken to your desired consistency.

        Adjust Sweetness: Taste the pudding and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

          Serve: Scoop the farro pudding into bowls. Top with chopped nuts and fresh fruit of choice. Drizzle with a bit more maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon if desired.

            Enjoy Warm or Cold: This breakfast pudding can be enjoyed warm or stored in the refrigerator for a cold treat. Reheat if necessary, adding a splash of milk to loosen if it thickens.
