RECIPE: Granola-Stuffed Peach Pancakes by InIt4TheLongRun

Mix up your regular pancake routine by adding an extra special crunch, that's right granola! An exclusive recipe for Pyknic and blog post crafted by Georgie of InIt4TheLongRun.com / @InIt4TheLongRun on Instagram.

I think we can all agree that you physically can’t be upset when you’re eating a good stack of pancakes. It’s like how you naturally smile when you say “cheese,” it’s just a fact. So, I’m not trying to brag, but I’m pretty much sharing a recipe for happiness… #nobigdeal. These fluffy little delights are stuffed with crunchy granola and topped with fresh peaches. Bonus: if you’re feelin’ extra jazzy (like I was) you can drizzle some almond butter on top. Yeah, this flavor/texture trifecta is not to be messed with.

I’m bringing this recipe for happiness to you as a part of mini series with the lovely folks at Pyknic. Whenever I wear my “Pancakes Please” tank, which incidentally is quite a lot, I always think of Amanda Bynes saying “Amanda Pleaase.”

Poor poor Amanda. She is a prime example why I would never wish fame on my worst enemy. I have huge amounts of respect for the celebrities who keep it together under all of that pressue… and plenty of sympathy for those who… don’t. How insane it would be to have random herds of strangers in your face 24/7 wherever you go? As an introvert that literally sounds like my worst nightmare *shudders.*

But anyway, back to happier thoughts… like these pancakes! I think we can all agree that pancakes are just better with stuff in them. As much as I’d like to take all the credit for granola-cakes, alas I cannot. I was inspired by one of my favorite breakfast joints growing up who had “trailcakes” aka granola stuffed pancakes. They were a perfect juxtaposition of fluffy and crunchy.

You can use whatever granola you’ve got on hand, but if you’re looking for a homemade recipe here’s one of my favorites I’ve shared: Extra Crunchy Super Seed Granola.
