Make Halloween breakfast fun! Serve these festive Halloween pancakes shaped like pumpkins and spider webs and filled with chocolate spread, caramel, preserves, or fruit curd. Your whole family will love them.
A few weeks ago, our exchange student cooked us pancakes for breakfast. I can't tell you how nice it was to have someone else cook for me in my own kitchen.
Check out my Grinch Pancakes or my Winter Wonderland Pancakes post for a delicious pancake recipe.
We had leftover pancakes which I stored in the fridge until the next day. Then, we had some fun.
We cut our pancakes out with cookie cutters, added some sweet filling, and sandwiched two together. We heated the Halloween pancakes up in a toaster oven just until they were warm.
They looked so great, we decided to snap some pictures, so we could share our project with you.
She cooked some of the pancakes until golden brown while others were just spotty brown. Both tasted and looked great once turned into these fun Halloween shapes.
Halloween Pancakes: Jack-O-Lanterns and Spider Webs
Ingredients
- cooked pancakes (hot or cold)
- fillings like Nutella, chocolate nut spread, nut butter, jam, jelly, or pie filling
Supplies
- cookie cutters and/or a knife
Instructions
Cut then fill the pancakes.
- Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut Halloween shapes out of your cooked pancakes. Spread some filling onto half of your cut-out pancakes.
- Cut details out of a second pancake. We cut faces out of our pumpkin-shaped pancakes in order to make jack-o-lanterns and cut out a spider in our spider web-shaped pancakes.
- Add one of the detailed pancakes on top of the one with filling.
- Serve these fun Halloween pancakes hot or cold. If you want to serve them hot, cut the pancakes, toast them in your toaster or toaster oven, or warm them in your oven before adding the chocolate hazelnut or caramel filling.
Variations
Use your favorite pancake mix to make this fun Halloween breakfast or cut the shapes out of frozen pancakes.
You can also make flavored pancakes like pumpkin pancakes or apple spice pancakes.

I still can't believe our exchange student made homemade pancakes without a recipe. I can cook without a recipe, but would never make something like pancakes without a recipe. They were great!
