If you love Halloween, you’ll want to check out all of my Halloween recipes!
I have always loved Halloween. Growing up, my brother was really into haunted houses and masks and dressing up. It was always a favorite of ours when he would make a haunted house in the basement at my grandparents’ house on Sunday nights. Thinking back now, I have to laugh, but at the time, it was all very scary.
But I think that is where my love of Halloween came from. I always loved Halloween night and the decorations and the trick-or-treating. (And of course the candy!!)
While we’ll probably have chili in the crock pot waiting while we trick or treat on Halloween night, I thought it would be fun to start the day off with a festive breakfast. And what’s better than pancakes??
These pancakes are super easy and so good – filled with all of the spices that scream fall. They start with pancake mix, so they come together super easy and super fast. The whipped cream ghosts aren’t a new thing (I did them on the Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars), but they are not only delicious to eat on top of the pancakes, but the kids will love them!!
Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t have pancake mix on hand, you can use the recipe for your favorite pancakes, (this is my favorite Pancake Recipe), and then just add in the spices.
- The whipped cream ghosts are perfect for Halloween, but these pancakes are tasty all fall long!
- You can also sub in 1 teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice instead of the spices listed.

Spiced Ghost Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of ginger
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Mini chocolate chips
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. Stir in the eggs and milk.
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbly on top and set on the edges. Flip and cook on the second side.
- To make the whipped cream ghosts, whip the cream until thick. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until you have stiff peaks. Transfer the cream to a pastry bag. Pipe the ghosts on top of pancake stacks and adhere 2 mini chocolate chips for the eyes.
Recipe Notes:
*The pancakes are equally delicious without the ghosts for every day.
