I think breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I find actual comfort in dipping a strip of bacon into maple syrup, and find myself craving pancakes at 11pm. While I was growing up my mom was BIG on a bowl of cereal before bed, so I tapped into that and it stuck, and then evolved into this loving breakfast all day-long thing that it is now. Which I'm totally cool with.
With my current infatuation of adding nuts into dishes, this seemed like a natural fit. That, along with the slightly caramelized bananas make these a sure-fire winner.
The warm spice and vanilla flavor with the sweet refreshing banana and crunch of the pecans... man oh man. Drizzle some maple syrup on there and I'm in heaven.
Check out what I'm talking about below!
