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.

Read on for the full recipe, which makes ten, four-inch pancakes.
