King Arthur & King James Two-for-One

Have you ever mixed two breakfasts with one? Well, if your answer is no, you’ll love this one.  Ready? Granola pancakes.  This is an insanely addictive breakfast, but if you focus hard you’ll be able to limit yourself to eating it 24/7.  Just regular pancakes and put granola not on top but inside the pancakes.  If you want a little more then sprinkle some berries on top or add sliced coconut slivers.  Sunday morning pancakes happen a lot in my family and this Sunday was even more exciting because now the NBA playoffs are underway.

The two games I followed were Pacers at Cavaliers and Jazz at Clippers.  My favorite team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, squeaked by the Indiana pacers in Game 1.  LeBron James had a great game with 30+ points and 10+ assists.  Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love helped out with 23 points for Irving and 20 points for Love.  On Monday night in Game 2, the Cavs were in command most of the game until the Pacers had short mini-runs and were even able to close the gap from 19 to 4 in the final quarter.  But the Cavaliers held their poise and were able to leave Quicken Loans Arena with a 2-0 series lead.  Cleveland’s big three (James, Irving, and Love) all scored at least 25 points.  It was a good victory for Cleveland as they go to Indiana for Game 3, which is on Thursday.  In Jazz vs. Clippers, the visiting Utah Jazz took game one.  The hometown L.A. Clippers were completely disorganized, with Blake Griffin and Chris Paul having to shoulder all the hard work.  They got no help at all from Jamal Crawford, last year’s 6th man of the year, or J.J. Redick, one of the NBA’s premier catch and shooters.  Rudy Gobert and Gordon Hayward played exceptionally well for Utah, and the Jazz stole Game 1 of the series.  Can’t tell you what happened in Game 2, because I’m writing this Monday night and the NBA scheduled this game after my bed time.

And now, back to the Granola Pancakes.  These are easy – not a lot of ingredients.

And, most important, these pancakes were epic. I ate like a caveman or a gorilla. Since the pancakes were super soft and the granola and the coconut slivers made an extra crunchy taste, I added some syrup to get some of the sweet taste in there.  It was a rip shreddin’ jaw dropping, meal and I was mesmerized by it’s taste.  I had recorded the Cavaliers game soI could skip through commercials, and while I was watching LBJ dish to Channing Frye for a three point attempt, I was getting double enjoyment.  Cavaliers and Granola Pancakes.  It was a slam dunkin’ idea.
