{10 Days of Halloween} Jack-O-Lantern Pancakes

Tonight we had breakfast for dinner.  My family likes having breakfast for dinner, but I also had a new pancake recipe that I wanted to try. But we couldn't just have ordinary pancakes...they were Halloween-style, of course! We made ourselves some jack-o-lantern pancakes.


Here's the pancake recipe--it turned out really yummy!

Pancakes

2 eggs
2 ½ C flour
½ C sugar
1 T baking powder
1 tsp salt
½ C oil
2 C milk

Simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and mix together.


After we made the batter, we added some food coloring to make the batter orange like a pumpkin. (I used about five drops of red and yellow food coloring for mine.) Then cook the pancakes like normal.


When the pancakes are ready, the fun part is letting your kids decorate their own jack-o-lantern pancakes anyway they want!


I set out a few bowls of toppings for decorating, like raisins, chocolate chips, bananas, and peaches. You can use any fruit or toppings that you like (i.e. sprinkles, nuts, whipped cream, etc.).

This was a fun way to engage my kids during dinner and make it fun to eat too!
