Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Halloween Pancakes
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Add in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg, ¼ cup of maple syrup, and 2 large eggs. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps, giving it a vibrant orange hue.
  2. Preheat your griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat, ensuring it's hot enough for the pancakes to sizzle upon contact. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a dab of butter.
  3. Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface, signaling they’re ready to flip. Carefully turn the pancakes over using a spatula and let them cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
  4. While your pancakes are cooking, prepare your toppings by scooping ½ cup of vanilla yogurt and getting ½ cup of granola ready. Rinse 1 cup of mixed berries.
  5. Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a large plate. Start with a pancake base, then layer on a generous scoop of yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, and a handful of fresh mixed berries.
  6. To make your pancake stack extra spooky, arrange marshmallows on top to resemble ghostly figures and add some extra berries for color.
  7. Serve your enchanting Halloween pancakes warm, alongside ketchup or salsa for dipping if you like!
