Halloween Breakfast

Whether you celebrate Halloween by trick or treating or just getting together with friends, Halloween is one of those holidays where it is extra fun to create food. It’s not a serious holiday, so you can go the spooky route with desserts or go for something that everyone needs to eat – a good breakfast with some Halloween waffles.

These Halloween breakfast waffles don’t have any change in flavoring, so while they might look like pieces of candy corn, they still taste like waffles. They are vegetarian and one of those fun Halloween breakfast ideas that you can serve on Halloween morning!

This Halloween breakfast food is a fun idea for the whole family. An easy way to feed everyone and using simple ingredients, this fun breakfast will easily become a favorite recipe that you can make every year. 

This Halloween recipe will make approximately 3 to 4 waffles, depending on how much batter you use for each one (make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula!). That said, when you are done with each waffle, you’ll want to cut them into four triangles so that they resemble candy corn.

Once you do that, you can distribute them in pieces rather than whole waffles if you need them to stretch across multiple people. Serve them with some fresh fruit and you have the perfect treat for little kids and the entire family!

Halloween breakfast recipes are fun, and it’s all about having a happy Halloween! Whether you are surrounding yourself with jack o lanterns, spooky movies, or spiderwebs everywhere, you still need to start the day with a good, healthy breakfast. These are a fun way to start the day and set the Halloween festivities off on the right foot!

Recipe Notes:

  • While you can pour or spoon the batter into the waffle maker, the better way is to spoon it. It may add a little time to your process, but you’ll get a more accurate result. 
  • Want to make these spooky treats for a Halloween party? Add some plastic spiders to the plates and tint the syrup black or red with food coloring. It’s a great way to keep things on a fun note while making sure this is still an easy breakfast or comfort food for your Halloween celebrations.

1 tablespoon butter (for greasing your pan)

Supplies Needed:

Large waffle maker
Large bowl
3 small bowls
Yellow, orange, and white food coloring

A waffle iron and four white bowls with food coloring of different colors on a wooden tabletop

Directions:

Step 5: Scoop your orange batter around your white batter in a full circle. You can pour it, but it may lay down more evenly if you use a utensil to place it in your waffle maker.

Step 6: Scoop your yellow batter around your orange batter.

Step 7: Once your waffle maker is full, plug it in and turn it on medium heat.

Step 8: Unplug your waffle maker, carefully turn it upside down onto a plate and your waffle should fall right out.

Step 9: Cut your waffle into triangles with a butter knife and now you have four pieces of candy corn colored waffles!

Top your delicious breakfast off with butter, maple syrup, chocolate chips, or vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!

How To Store Leftover Halloween Waffles

Store any leftovers in an airtight container or a resealable bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

Can I Freeze These Halloween Breakfast Waffles?

Yes! If you want to keep this Halloween-themed breakfast past Halloween season, allow the waffles to cool completely on a plate. Once they are room temperature, place them in a freezer-safe bag and expel as much air as possible. They should be good for 2-3 months. 

To reheat this yummy breakfast treat, take them out of the freezer and heat them in the toaster oven, just as you would regular breakfast waffles.

Can I Turn These Into Belgian Waffles? 

Kind of. This batter isn’t quite as light as you’d see in a Belgian waffle (this is more of a standard waffle batter), but if you use a Belgian waffle iron, you’ll have deeper grooves in which to pour your syrup. 

Can I Turn These Into Pumpkin Waffles?

Yes! If you add some pumpkin puree to the batter as well as a little cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or ginger, these can easily become pumpkin spice waffles.

The batter will be moister than it would be with regular batter (as well as orange), so you will have to tinker with the timing of the cook on the waffles as well as the amount of food coloring needed for this sweet treat.
