Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked farro ($0.25)

1/2 cup milk (dairy, soy, or almond) ($0.19)

1/4 tsp vanilla extract ($0.07)

1/2 tsp brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey ($0.02)

1 banana ($0.21)

2 Tbsp chopped walnuts ($0.29)

Instructions

1 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.

2 Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener (brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey).

3 Slice the banana and place it on top. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the bowl, and enjoy.
