I can’t take full credit for this weekend’s pancake flavor, Lindsay left a comment last week suggesting cranberries and I ran with it. Thanks Lindsay!

Some previous pancake Sunday creations:

After seeing how these pictures came out, I’m kind of wishing I had waited until after Thanksgiving to go the cranberry route.

Aren’t they so festive?

Every year after Thanksgiving I snatch up a bag or two of frozen fresh cranberries on some sort of ridiculous super sale.

I currently have 4 bags of cranberries in my freezer.

No joke.

Given the hoarder-like amount of cranberries in my possession, I foresee many upcoming weekends involving these pancakes. Or some other cranberry recipe favorites like 5-ingredient slow cooker cranberry sauce, cranberry apple stuffed cornish hens or, avocado lentil cranberry salad.

It’s a good thing they turned out awesome.

In fact, I might say these are my favorite yet.

I love the tartness of the cranberries that kind of pop in your mouth combined with the maple syrup and almond flavor that balance it out so your lips aren’t puckering with each bite.

Ulysses was out of the house by 7:30am yesterday to go to a gun show in Pennsylvania and totally missed out on these.

I have a feeling he’s going to be pissed when he sees the pictures.

In my opinion they rival some of our other winter pancake favorites like sweet potato chocolate chip pancakes, Meyer lemon quinoa pancakes and orange basil ricotta pancakes.

They might even make me take a break from my go to high protein pancake recipe – I eat that one more than once a week!

What’s your favorite way to use cranberries? Obviously, I’m in need of some good suggestions!
