Importance of having breakfast
I have seen and experienced the difference between having a good breakfast vs. skipping breakfast or having just about anything.
For instance, a good breakfast kept me energetic and focused and kept me going until the night. Moreover, even if I grab some light snacks in between that just seems to be enough. Besides, there are days I have skipped my breakfast or had it late and have dreaded with the energy level.
Finally, I have sworn to myself that how much ever busy I am, breakfast is something which I will never skip.
For the most part, overnight oatmeal or muesli or an oatmeal smoothie is my go-to option for the busy days.
Breakfast options
Usually, for the weekends a crispy dosa with rice flour (an Indian flatbread made with lentils) and these healthy whole wheat pancakes are the favorites.
Dosa for breakfast is quite easy to make. By using rice flour, there is no additional hassle of grinding. Moreover, the chutney can easily made with coconut, herbs, and walnuts.

In short, It was a great substitution to the all-purpose flour.
