Banana Walnut Pancakes Recipe made with Healthy Farina Hot CerealMy husband is the biggest fan of breakfast food that I’ve ever met in my life.  He never gets sick of it, any day, any TIME of the day.  So needless to say, he was really happy when I whipped him up these banana walnut pancakes.

I literally just realized I forgot to make him scrambled eggs to go with them).  In my defense, Friday was one of those rare days where I spend many, many hours on making food for my blog…I seriously had about 3 or 4 different projects going on all at once.  Cupcakes, pancakes, lemon cookies, etc…..it was all happening on Friday afternoon.  Try to imagine what my kitchen looked like!  THAT was a fun mess to clean up.  Confession: there’s still some dirty pans “soaking” and just waiting for me.

Here are some other simple ways to enjoy their hot cereals and to make them even tastier:

  • Add a spoonful of any nut butter or an egg to your cereal to boost flavor and protein and give you a good start to your day and keep your stomach satisfied until lunchtime!
  • Add flaxseed meal, chia seed, hemp seed or pumpkin seed to increase your fiber and omega-3 intake which is good for your heart!
  • Add fresh, frozen or dried fruit to give these hot cereals a good flavor boost as well as adding vitamins and antioxidants.
  • Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to your bowl of cereal for a big flavor boost.  I love adding cinnamon to hot drinks and hot cereal!
