Nerd Food: Make Your Breakfast Magical With These Pumpkin Pancakes

We're halfway to Halloween, and the Disney Parks Blog is celebrating all things spooky! We recently shared with you their adorably fun Jack Skellington cookies, but now we're going to look at a recipe that's a little more traditionally fall. Now, pumpkin is out of season — but that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy pumpkin-flavored foods. This recipe calls for canned pumpkin, which is found year-round.

These pancakes will thrill and delight everyone in your house regardless of age and will make your home a little more magical. Pair with your favorite pumpkin coffee (let's be real, if you're like me, you probably hoard all of the pumpkin-flavored coffee after fall) or chocolate milk, put on your favorite Halloween music, and enjoy!
