Cranberry Almond Flapjacks

Directions

1. Preheat a Blackstone griddle to high heat. Prepare enough batter for 4 servings according to the pancake mix instructions. Stir in the oats, cinnamon, and almond extract, adjusting with extra liquid or mix to achieve a medium-thick consistency.

2. Place the maple syrup and cranberries in a cast iron pan or heatproof bowl on the griddle. Heat and stir until the cranberries pop, then remove from heat to prevent burning or boiling over.

3. Reduce the griddle heat to medium-low and spread butter across the surface. Pour the batter onto the griddle to form flapjacks of your desired size. Flip when the bottoms are lightly browned, spreading butter on the top side before flipping again. Cook until both sides are golden and remove from heat.

4. Add more butter to the griddle and toast the almond slices, stirring gently until browned.

5. Serve the flapjacks topped with cranberry syrup, toasted almonds, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
