Description

Halloween Pancakes are a spooky, fun, and nutritious breakfast made with oats, banana, black charcoal or paste, and topped with green matcha yogurt and candy eyeballs. Perfect for Halloween morning!


Ingredients

Scale

1¾ cups oats (rolled or quick)

½ cup milk (oat, almond, soy, or cow’s milk)

1 medium egg (or flax/chia “egg” for vegan)

1 small banana

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ cup hemp seeds (or chia or flax)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 teaspoon black coloring paste or activated charcoal

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Green Topping:

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon matcha powder

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
Additional:

A handful of candy eyeballs


Instructions

  • Prep: Measure and gather all ingredients—this makes assembly smooth and stress‑free.

  • Blend: In a blender, add wet ingredients first (milk, egg or substitute, banana, vanilla, optional syrup), then toss in oats, baking powder, hemp seeds, salt, and black coloring. Blend until ultra‑smooth.

  • Sweeten (optional): Sample the batter and add more syrup if needed for sweetness.

  • Rest: Let it sit for a minute—the oats will absorb moisture, thickening the batter slightly.

  • Adjust: If the batter becomes too thick, stir in a little milk or water until it’s pourable but thick.

  • Heat the pan: Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Opt for a nonstick skillet or lightly grease your pan—brushing on a bit of coconut oil helps keep the pancakes from sticking.

  • Cook: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Optionally press in a few cranberries for texture or color.

  • Flip gently: Cook 1–2 minutes until lightly browned, flip carefully with a silicone spatula, and cook another minute.

  • Repeat: Keep the pan greased between batches to ensure easy turning.

  • Make the topping: Stir yogurt, matcha, and syrup until smooth and green.

  • Assemble: Stack pancakes, spoon on green yogurt topping, and press candy eyeballs on top.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy your spooky breakfast!

Notes

Use any plant-based or dairy milk.

Charcoal or black paste gives natural dark color.

Matcha or spirulina works great for green yogurt.
