Adorable Halloween pancakes! Use apple slices and pumpkin pancake batter to make perfect jack-0-lantern pancakes.
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice
1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup + 1/8 cup half & half
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 eggs
3 teaspoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large apples
1. Peel your apples and prepare the batter for the pancakes. In a large bowl combine the all purpose flour with 2 tablespoons white sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 3 teaspoons cinnamon, 2 teaspoons allspice, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Whisk so everything is combined.
2. In another bowl, combine the 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 and 1/8 cup of half and half, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 eggs, 3 teaspoons of molasses, and the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3. Add the wet pumpkin batter to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is combined.
3. Heat your pan and add the pancake batter trying to keep the pancakes as circular as possible.
4. While the pancakes cook on this first side, cut the apples into slices. Cut small triangles for the eyes and noses, and from the apple slices cut either square or triangular shaped teeth. (see photo in post above!)
5. Add a mouth, eyes, and nose to the pancakes gently pressing down to make sure the pieces are secured in the batter. When the pancakes are cooked on the first side carefully flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the pancakes are cooked through then remove to a plate. Repeat until you’ve cooked all the pumpkin pancakes!
