pistachio pancakes

Want to kick off your week the right way? I’m all about a healthy, filling, totally delicious breakfast to start my day pretty much any day, but making myself a bit of a special breakie on a Monday morning? That sends a message: The week has arrived, and I am here to greet whatever it cares to bring with it. (Although, of course, I always hope it mostly brings good things that I love, like sparky water and puppies.)

Go ahead and treat yourself this morning — or any other morning — with this tasty and healthful pistachio pancake recipe from Sara Siskind, Certified Nutritional Health Counselor and founder of Hands On Healthy (which offers cooking classes for adults, families and teens based in New York). Don’t forget to make the syrup, too!

Pistachio Pancakes With Cranberry Syrup

Pistachio Pancakes With Cranberry Syrup
Adding Greek yogurt, egg whites and pistachios to the traditional batter not only makes them light and fluffy, but filling too! With the added pistachios you will get an abundance of vitamins and minerals that help support your overall health. Pistachios also contain fiber which can help keep you satisfied throughout your morning.

What’s your favorite pancake topping? Ever since my first trip to Hawaii, I’m a bit partial to banana pancakes with mac nuts. —Kristen
