Get in the Halloween Spirit Early with Disney’s Pumpkin Pancakes Recipe

Halloween is a *big* deal at Disney parks. We’re talking autumnal Mickey decorations, spooky fireworks, live shows (hello, Sanderson Sisters), an over-the-top parade and trick-or-treating. May 15 marked the halfway point to Halloween, which the Disney Parks Blog celebrated with a virtual celebration chock-full of DIY projects and devilishly delicious recipes, like these drool-worthy pumpkin pancakes.

Picture digging into fluffy, golden-brown pancakes spiked with creamy canned pumpkin. Top it off with lots of butter and syrup (or icing, if you're feeling extra) and you’re in business for a scary delicious breakfast. Hungry for more Halloween treats? Disney also released recipes for its pumpkin twists, Jack Skellington sugar cookies, pumpkin soup, pumpkin bars and pumpkin crème brûlée.
