Make your favorite little guys and ghouls a delectable breakfast of Halloween Monster Buttermilk Pancakes. Top with Halloween sprinkles, eyeballs, and more!
This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
Happy first day of #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I’m so excited to kick off the week with my Halloween Monster Buttermilk Pancakes. I love to make my kids a spooky breakfast the days leading up to and on Halloween. These pancakes will sure to be a new family favorite and hopefully tradition! I used my go-to recipe for buttermilk pancakes, added some Adam’s Extract food coloring as well as sparkle gel, sprinkles, and candy eyeballs and these pancakes are full of monster goodness!
What supplies do you need to make Halloween Buttermilk Monster Pancakes?
For these Halloween pancakes you’ll need quite a few kitchen tools and ingredients. Here is a list of supplies.
- Adams Extract 4 Color Pack
- Sweets & Treats Sweet Sprinkles Mix: Monster Mash
- Dixie Crystals Fine Granulated Sugar
- Wilton Black Sparkle Gel
- Wilton Candy Eyeballs
- Mixing bowl
- OXO Measuring Cups & Spoons
- Silicone spatula
- Frying pan
- Ice Cream Scoop
How do you make Halloween Monster Buttermilk Pancakes?
Making these pancakes are very easy. Best of all you can make them the day before you want to serve and then reheat and top.
Pro tip: you want your top pancake to be on the cooler side when you go to top the pancakes or else you will end up with a blob of whipped cream.
Using a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then add in the buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix for 30 seconds and all ingredients are blended.
Separate the batter into 3 bowls. Then, make orange, green, and purple batter (Purple: 20 drops red, 15 drops blue | Green: 20 drops Green 5 drops yellow | Orange: 40 drops yellow, 15 drops red).
Spray cooking spray in a frying pan and heat over medium heat.
Using an ice cream scoop, scoop and pour the batter into the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until you start to see bubbles forming in the batter. Then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until brown and cooked through. Remove from griddle and repeat until all the batter is used.
Once the pancakes are all cooked, divide evenly among plates. Then drizzle the Wilton Black Sparkle Gel on top. Followed by whipped cream and a generous sprinkling of the Monster Mash sprinkles.
Lastly, add the Wilton Candy Eyeballs on top. Repeat until all the pancakes are topped.
Can you freeze Pancakes?
The answer is yes! I actually almost always freeze my leftover pancakes! I store them between layers of parchment paper in a freezer safe bag or container.
How do you reheat frozen pancakes?
To reheat frozen pancakes is simple. Place the desired number of pancakes on a plate and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Flip the pancakes over and if they are still cool to touch then microwave an additional 30 seconds until hot.
Whether you simply love Halloween or hoping to start a new tradition in your home I hope you’ll give my Halloween Monster Buttermilk Pancakes a try.
