If you are looking for a healthy way to kickstart your day, add pecans to your breakfast. Pecans are loaded with healthy fats, protein, and energizing vitamins and minerals. Eating pecans for breakfast will give you all the nutrition you need to tackle the challenges of even your busiest days. If you’d like to jumpstart your day, here are some delicious ways to add pecans to your breakfast.  

1. Sweet Potato Waffles With Caramel Pecan Topping

  Combining the two sweetest flavors of the South, these yeasted waffles are made with sweet potatoes and drizzled with a delicious caramel pecan topping. The best part about this recipe is you can make it the night before. Then in the morning simply pour the batter into your waffle maker and breakfast is served.  

2. Banana, Bacon, And Pecan Pancakes

  Similar to the flavors of Elvis’ breakfast favorite, this combination of sweet bananas, salty bacon, and buttery pecans is a delicious treat.
