Oh summer peaches…how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
If my Crumble Peach Ice Cream wasn’t enough to satisfy your appetite for summer’s beautiful bounty of juicy peaches, this Farro Breakfast Bowl with Caramelized Peaches and Cinnamon Cashew Cream, will surely do the trick.
I’ve posted a few tasty farro recipes here at the BHK. My Farro, Corn and Tomato Salad, Farro Caprese Salad with Shrimp and my Baked Farro with Butternut Squash, Kale and Pancetta are all hits in the salad and main dish categories.
But I had yet to post one in the breakfast category.
Well, things are changing.
Let me introduce you to my summer breakfast of choice, this Farro Breakfast Bowl with Caramelized Peaches and Cinnamon Cashew Cream. And yes, it tastes as good as it sounds friends!
And who better to partner up with than my favorite, Bob’s Red Mill to bring you this delicious new breakfast bowl?
You know I love Bob’s products. Bob’s makes the world better with whole grains!
They offer one of the largest lines of organic, whole grain foods in the country. All of their products are certified Kosher and made with ingredients grown from non-GMO seeds. Natural means natural to Bob’s.
I’m hoping you’re not new to Bob’s Organic Farro. It’s a hearty, nutty grain that’s simple to cook and will keep you satisfied for hours. Each serving will provide 20% or more of the recommended daily value for fiber.
All the components of this bowl provide a nice substantial, tasty breakfast.
I’ve added some caramelized summer peaches because they’re my fave, but you could substitute apples, pears, nectarines, or any fruit that’s your favorite.
And that cashew cream!
So easy to whip up and such a smooth, rich, dairy-free addition to this bowl.
It’s a combination of only a few ingredients with a hint of cinnamon, that’s so totally fabulous. Add as much as you prefer to the bowl and save the rest as a dip for fresh fruit or to layer in parfaits.
A Few Cook’s Notes for Farro Breakfast Bowl with Caramelized Peaches and Cinnamon Cashew Cream Recipe:
I sweetened the cashew cream with two tablespoons of maple syrup. If you like yours sweeter, you can add a bit more.
A half a cup of water added to the cashew mixture was enough to reach a desired thickness for me. Feel free to add more to thin it out if you like. Always start with less and add more if desired.
You will have extra cashew cream, so just store in the refrigerator for up to five days. Perfect for fruit dip, parfaits or another farro breakfast bowl.
I guarantee this is one breakfast that will tickle your taste buds and satisfy your appetite for hours! Enjoy!
- 1/2 cup uncooked farro, rinsed
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup water, you can use more to reach your desired thickness
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, you can add more/less to reach desired sweetness
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
- 4 peaches, peeled, halved, pitted and cut into chunks
- 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp. coarse salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds, if desired
-
Place rinsed farro in a medium saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups water. The water should cover the grains. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until just slightly chewy. Remove from heat. Drain off any excess liquid. Set aside.
-
Soak the cashews for at least 2 hours, but as much as up to overnight. After soaking, drain and discard water.
-
Place the soaked cashews, water, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a blender and process for 1-2 minutes. You may add more water for a thinner consistency, if desired.
-
In a medium bowl, toss peach chunks, lemon juice, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
-
In a medium skillet, melt butter and brown sugar over medium-high heat. Add peach mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, until caramelized.
-
Place some farro in a bowl, top with some caramelized peaches and a dollop or two of cashew cream. Sprinkle with chopped pecans or your favorite nut, if desired.
Yum! I love farro + peaches! Have you listened to the NPR podcast How I Built This? One of the recent episodes featured Bob, and he’s such an inspiration I’m committed to only cooking with Bob’s Red Mill from this point forward!
I do too MB! I have not, but I’ll need to catch it. I love all Bob’s products!
I love farro – it’s just so darn hearty! I’ve made a one pot savoury version before and I have a salad coming up in the fall, but have never enjoyed it on the sweeter side or for breakfast. Clearly, that has to change because this looks delicious, Mary Ann! Pinned! Hope you have a lovely weekend! XOXO
You need to try this sweeter version Dawn! This breakfast will keep you satisfied all morning! Wonderful weekend to you too!
Yep, this will surely do the trick! I’m a big fan of farro, and anything that highlights caramelized peaches surely gets my vote! Delicious, Mary Ann!
Can’t beat summer peaches Annie! Happy weekend!
This gorgeous bowl is putting my yogurt and banana to shame. I’m totally trying this as soon as I can pick up some peaches! Have a great weekend, Mary Ann!
Go for it Kelsie! Happy weekend to you too!
Peaches are definitely my favorite summer fruit and breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! So, naturally I feel like you made these beautiful breakfast bowls just for me! ;) Such a delicious, hearty, yet healthy way to start the day! Oh, and that cinnamon cashew cream?!? Gawd YES!! Pinning! Cheers!
Yes! That cinnamon cashew cream is da bomb Chey! Happy weekend!
The carmelozes peaches sound amazing. What a great way to start the day!
I’m loving this one Matt! The cashew cream is so good with this too!
I love farro! This is my kinda breakfast. I tend to stick to lighter options… bacon and egg type breakfasts don’t appeal to me at all.
I’m really enjoying this one this summer Natasha!
So happy to find another one with farro…. thank you !
You’re so welcome!
This is so genius! Love the homemade version parfait with Farro!
Thanks Lindsay! It’s such a hearty breakfast!
This farro bowl sounds insane MaryAnn!!! I love that you used cashew cream…definitely making this one for breakfast!! xoxo
I’m loving it Rebecca! That cashew cream is dreamy! Hope you enjoy it!
I just cooked a big batch of farro (Bob’s Red Mill brand is the best!) to toss in to green salads for the next few days. I also have a basket full of peaches – kismet, yes? I’m so excited to try this, Mary Ann! And that cinnamon cashew cream sounds just heavenly!
I bet you’ll LOVE this breakfast bowl Marissa!
Oh yes please! Love the idea of farro for breakfast. That’s sure to keep you filled all day.
It really does Jennifer!
Farro with caramelized peaches?! Oh my gawd, YUMMMMM!
I bet you’d love it Alice!
You and I must be soul sisters Mary Ann because peaches are my fav too. And nothing beats a good juicy peach from a fruit stand in the south (I need to move!!!). I also love farro but have never had it for breakfast! Why not?!! Such a hearty & comforting way to start the day. . .especially when paired with those divine peaches.
They’ve been amazing this summer Lynn! Sweet as candy! Hope you have the chance to try this bowl! So hearty and delicious!
You know what? You just changed my life today. I tried this recipe for lunch to be honest and my husband just loved it. Thank you so much.
Amy Knoll
Woohoo!! I’m so happy you both enjoyed it Amy! It’s so hearty isn’t it?! This will be so perfect for fall and winter too with apples and pears! Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Sunday!
That cashew cream is calling my name!
It’s delicious on lots of things Jennifer!
Farro is my favorite grain, Mary Ann – I just love it’s nutty chewy taste. I’ve never thought to pair it with fruit – but that’s such a great idea. And caramelizing the peaches is brilliant! Can’t wait to try this. Pinning too!
I hope you love it Geraldine!
This is my kind of breakfast! I love these peaches and cinnamon and everything else! Peaches are in our local farmer’s stand right now. I can’t wait to get some! :)
Hope you enjoy it Kathy!
I adore farro and this looks like such a great combo. A perfect breakfast to use summer sweet peaches. Loving it.
Thanks so much Asha! I have really been enjoying all the beautiful peaches this summer from our local farm stands!
I must make this while fresh peaches are still in season! Looks hearty, healthy and delicious Mary Ann!
You would totally love it Leanne!
I think I would make this for dessert and then breakfast is ready to go the next day! Farro is one of my favorites too, I love the texture, and it sounds wonderful in these bowls. Summer peaches are the best and that cashew cream would work well with so many other summer fruits! Such a lovely breakfast idea, Mary Ann.
Thanks Emily! I bet you’d really love it!
This might be one of the best breakfasts’ ever! Love the flavors you have!
It is my summer go-to Kevin!
Such a beautiful breakfast idea, I love the caramelized peaches!
