Oatmeal Almond Pancakes

One of my favorite meal times is breakfast, I am a huge fan of almost all breakfast foods (especially french toast).  I started the pancakes by using some pre-mixed pancake mix. Then I stirred what seemed like a decent amount of oatmeal and a few drops of almond extract into the wet batter. Not only were these pancakes a huge hit for their added oatmeal flavor and texture, we also loved the almond flavor because it was just the break from basic vanilla we needed. Naturally we served our pancakes with a generous glug of warm maple syrup or some fresh fruits.


Ingredients

• 1 batch homemade pancake mix or any dry pancake mix you have on hand
• 1 egg
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• 1 cup quick cooking oats

Directions

1. Mix one cup of the homemade pancake mix with the egg, buttermilk, and almond extract until completely smooth. Then stir in the quick cooking oats.
2. In a medium skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat until bubbling.
3. Pour in the pancake mix by the ¼ cup and try to fit as many as you can in the skillet as long as they are not touching.
4. Cook the pancakes on one side until bubbles show on the surface of the pancake.
5. Then flip them over and cook for about 2 minutes on the other side until lightly browned. Serve!
