Spooky Halloween Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes

Halloween Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes

Today, I’m excited to share a fun and spooky recipe perfect for Halloween morning — Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes! These fluffy and flavorful pancakes are whimsically shaped like ghosts and infused with warm spices to embrace the festive fall season.

To start making these delightful Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 150g pumpkin puree
• 250ml milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Before you start cooking, gather the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• griddle
• spatula

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your pancakes tough.

Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle to form each ghost shape. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a ghost-like shape with a round head and flowing bottom.

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are cooked.

To serve, stack the Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes on a plate and top them off with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for a spooky touch. Enjoy these festive treats with a cup of hot apple cider for the ultimate Halloween breakfast experience.

The total weight of the cooked Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes is approximately 600g, with enough batter to make 8 ghost-shaped pancakes. Each serving weighs around 75g, and you can estimate each serving to be around 150 calories.

A fun tip for extra spookiness is to use chocolate chips to create eyes and a mouth on your ghost pancakes before serving. This will add a playful and creative element to your Halloween breakfast spread.

I hope you enjoy making these Pumpkin Spice Ghost Pancakes as much as I do. Get creative with your toppings and decorations to make them your own. Happy Halloween!
