Slow Cooker Peaches & Cream Farro is a lightly sweetened, healthier take on peaches & cream oatmeal.
It’s loaded with bites of soft peaches, chewy farro, a hint of cinnamon, and is sweetened with honey.
I developed this recipe because I’ve been wanting a healthy breakfast that is delicious, full of fiber and protein, and made hands-off in the slow cooker.
This recipe checked all my boxes! It’s made with oat milk and Greek yogurt, no heavy cream. Plus, it’s sweetened only with cinnamon, honey, and the natural sweetness of peaches.
If you’ve never tried oat milk, this recipe is the perfect time to try it! It’s a great plant-based alternative to regular milk.
I love farro and use it a lot as a healthy, hearty grain instead of white rice. If you like farro, you may enjoy my Roasted Broccoli Farro Salad.
Why I use farro instead of oats
- The grains stay intact, providing a chewy, heartier texture.
- Farro has a great, almost nutty flavor.
- Leftovers reheat well. Perfect for meal prepping!
- Farro contains a little more protein and fiber.
Slow Cooker Banana Pumpkin Oatmeal Bars are another healthy slow cooker breakfast.

How to serve
Slow Cooker Peaches & Cream Farro is best served warm.
It’s a great healthy breakfast by itself, but you could serve it with fresh fruit and your favorite breakfast protein if desired.
💡Tips & Tricks
- Farro: This recipe was developed using pearled farro, which is the most common variety in the U.S., however, check the packaging because other types take longer to cook.
- Peaches: Fresh summer peaches are great, but frozen peaches can also be used.
- Milk: To make this recipe healthier, I developed it with oat milk. If desired, you can use regular milk or another type of milk.

Slow Cooker Peaches & Cream Farro
Equipment
- 5 quart slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup pearled farro rinsed
- 1 pound peaches (approx. 3 peaches) chopped
- 3 cups oat milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Add the rinsed farro, peaches, oat milk, honey, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon to the slow cooker. Stir until everything is combined and the honey is well incorporated.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2 hours. The farro should be tender but chewy. Turn off the heat, add the Greek yogurt and stir to combine. Remove the lid and let sit for 5-10 minutes. It will thicken as it cools. Excellent served warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 5-5 1/2 cups. The 6 servings is based on (6) almost-one-cup portions.
- This recipe was developed using pearled farro. If your package doesn’t specify if it’s pearled or not, pearled farro’s cooking instructions should state that it cooks in about 20 minutes.
- I used Chobani Vanilla Greek Yogurt when developing this recipe.
- Frozen peaches can be used in place of fresh.
- This recipe is just slightly sweet. If you’d like it sweeter, add more honey to achieve your desired sweetness.
- Once cooled, store leftover farro in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. This can be frozen in freezer-safe containers, but may need more liquid added when reheating.
A healthy breakfast never tasted so good!
