Want something different for breakfast or brunch? These pancake and waffle alternatives give you sweet and savory, creamy and delicious flavors in one bite. Paleo, gluten-free, and whole-family friendly, they also store well for a snack or meal the next day.
I add apple with the sweet potatoes to bring in a little sweet acidity that pairs really well with the bacon and maple syrup. You can certainly omit the bacon for a vegetarian option, if you still eat eggs. The baby arugula adds a touch of bitter to balance the sweetness of the syrup and yogurt. I prefer to top it with an over-easy egg as the creamy runny eggs melds everything together so well. Guaranteed winner!
