Whole Wheat Nooch & Walnut Pancakes

Celebrate the official first day of winter with these savory pancakes and a mug of hot chocolate covered tea.

Happy Winter Solstice everyone! The cold weather has already started popping before this day as always.
It's another brisk Sunday evening in Dayton. Perfect excuse to stay in with comfort food and something overly warm to drink. I must commend Tazo on this delightful chocolate chai. Amazingly delicious blend of hot cocoa flavor and spicy robust tea. Bravo!
Companion to the wonderful tea is pancakes. Savory scrumptious pancakes that is.
Nutritional yeast and walnuts are key ingredients in these soft middle crisp edged usual weekend breakfast favorites. Nutty texture add surprising crunch and nooch provides the "cheesy" flavor. Not just for mornings as we all know. Brunch, lunch, dinner or beyond, enjoyable delights bring a smile to any empty plate.
