3. Buttermilk Bran Cakes with Apple-Walnut Topping
Protein: 10 grams
Believe it: Pancake recipes can be more than a carb fest. With low-fat yogurt, walnuts, and an egg in the mix, you won’t be scrounging for snacks an hour after devouring a plate of this delicious high-protein vegetarian breakfast. Come fall and winter, use apples or pears in the topper; in summer, try swapping in cherries or berries.

Protein: 10 grams
We’ve never seen such an elegant-looking (yet easy-to-prep) bowl of oatmeal. Goat cheese, dates, walnuts, and honey give a sophisticated feeling to this high-protein vegetarian breakfast and offer an irresistible combination of sweet and salty. And you choose the oat. Whatever you’ve got on hand will work, though we suggest regular, versus quick-cooking, for a bit of a protein advantage.
