Jack-O'-Lantern Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

20 min

4–5 servings

An adorably spook-tacular breakfast perfect for those crisp autumn mornings. Little goblins and witches will gobble these up. A pumpkin spiced twist on a Sunday morning fave!

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Pumpkin Spice Loaf & Muffin Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup water
  • 1⁄4 cup oil, for batter
  • 3 tsp oil, for cooking
  • 1⁄4 cup caramel sauce or chocolate fudge, optional

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk mix with eggs, pumpkin purée, water, and 1⁄4 cup oil. Let batter rest 3 min—it will continue to thicken.
  • Heat 1 tsp oil in Sauté Pan over medium heat.
  • Working in batches and using 1⁄4 cup as a guide, scoop 3 pancakes into pan, leaving space between them.
  • Cook 2–5 min. When edges start to brown, flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1–2 min.
  • Repeat steps 2–4 for two more batches, or until all batter is cooked. Cooking times will vary.
  • Divide pancakes between four plates. If using, scoop caramel or fudge sauce into piping bag (or Ziploc® bag with one corner snipped). Draw Jack-O'-Lantern faces on pancakes. Add toppings, if desired.

Tips

Instead of piping caramel or fudge sauce to make faces, arrange chocolate chips into Jack-O'-Lantern smiles on the pancakes.

To create a pumpkin-shaped pancake, drag a small amount of batter out of one side to make a ‘stem’ right after you scoop the batter into the pan.
