Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked farro, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Cinnamon Cashew Cream

  • 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

Caramelized Peaches

  • 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

Topping

  • chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds, if desired

Instructions

  • 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.

Cinnamon Cashew Cream

  • 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.

Caramelized Peaches

  • 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.

Assembling Breakfast Bowl

  • 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.
