Breakfast is, hands down, the best meal of the day.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise this morning eating event brings a lot of competition to the table.
There are all sorts of awesome eats that make getting out of bed in the morning totally worth it -- from bacon and eggs to badass bagel sandwiches.
But when it comes to the Holy Grail of heavenly breakfast foods, nothing can top the deliciousness of blueberry pancakes.
I mean, how can you not love these fluffy, fruit-filled disks drenched in delectable syrup?
