Pancake Toppings That Are Better Than Syrup

Adding two tablespoons of nuts is a great way to add rich flavor and a nice boost of protein and fiber, along with those heart-healthy fats. Depending on the specific type of nut you choose you'll add about 100 calories, around four grams of protein, about two grams of fiber, and around eight grams of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. 

A few delicious options are walnuts, almonds, and pistachios. For those with nut allergies, try sunflower or pumpkin seeds, which boast a similar nutrient profile to nuts. You could also sprinkle on some chia seeds, hemp hearts, or ground flax.
