A wonderful warming breakfast option and one that you can prepare ahead of time too. All you need to do is reheat it when needed. I like to top it with coconut or Greek soy yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup but this would also be delicious served plain or with a handful of berries. Adding vanilla protein powder into the batter is a great way to bump up the protein in this dish. You can replace the walnuts with other nuts or leave them out.

A great combination of protein and slow releasing carbs makes this dish a great breakfast option to start the day. The addition of nuts also provides a dose of healthy omega 3 and monounsaturated fats
Walnuts are one of the best nuts for omega 3 content. They are also rich in antioxidants known as polyphenols that can help protect the cells from damage. You can replace the walnuts with other nuts or simply stir in the spoonful of nut butter to the batter instead.
