15 Halloween Breakfast Ideas

Halloween isn’t just about candy, costumes, and creepy decor; it’s also the perfect occasion to kickstart your day with some spooky and delicious breakfast ideas.

Whether you’re planning a Halloween breakfast bash or a simple surprise for your family, these 15 Halloween Breakfast Ideas have got you covered.

We’ve delved deep into seven of them, and the remaining eight are tucked under “Even More Ideas.” Let the morning festivities begin!

Halloween Breakfast Ideas

1. Frankenstein Kiwi: Turning fruit into monsters!

Get creative: Transform green kiwis into our favorite green monster. The fun part? Peeling the fruit to get those jagged hairlines!

Variation: Not a kiwi fan? Green apples can be Franken-fied in a similar manner.

Tip: Using a toothpick, you can easily adjust those chocolate chip eyes or even add eyebrows!

2. Monster Mouth: A crunchy creepy delight

Dress it up: While we love the classic teeth made from seeds, consider slivered almonds, mini marshmallows, or even candy corn instead!

Berry Scary: Add a strawberry slice as a tongue, or go wild with raspberry “blood” jam dripping down for an extra spooky touch.

Quick Note: Salted water for the apples is a lifesaver. No one likes brown monster mouths! Not sure about this trick? Read all about it here on our Caramel Apple Bar post.

3. Monster Donuts: Easy peasy and a little queasy

Toppings galore: Beyond the candy eyes, you can use red food gel to draw on creepy eye veins.

For chocolate lovers: Swap out the candy eyes for a Mummy Donut instead! Pipe melted white chocolate across the donut and then adhere the candy eyes before the chocolate hardens. All the details are in this Halloween Donuts post.

4. Cauldrons: Magic in every bite

Mix it up: Combine different fruits for a more colorful potion. Think blueberries, pomegranate seeds, or even small melon balls.

Added fog: Pop a small piece of dry ice in the cauldron for a bubbling, foggy effect. Ensure it’s safe and fully evaporated before eating!

5. Halloween Waffles: shapes and shades matter!

Color craze: Go beyond the shape; mix some food coloring into your batter for even more fun!

Toppings tips: Ghostly whipped cream, bloody blueberry syrup, or even edible spider decorations can up the spook factor.

QUICK TIP

Here are our favorite syrup recipes to top your Halloween waffles: Vanilla SauceButtermilk Syrup, or Pancake Syrup.

6. Banana Ghosts: The easiest phantoms around

Additional spook: Before adding the chocolate chips, dip the bananas in melted white chocolate to give them an extra touch and make ’em more dessert-like.

Variation: Not just ghosts! Turn them into mummies with a drizzle pattern and candy eyes.

7. Mini Clementine Pumpkins: Nature’s own festive bite

Quick tip: Make sure your clementines are fully peeled; any pith left can look a bit messy.

Stalk substitutes: No celery? Green candy, licorice, or even a small mint leaf can act as a cute pumpkin stalk.

Even More Ideas!

Here are some additional Halloween Breakfast Ideas:

  1. Bloody Parfaits: Layer yogurt with raspberry or strawberry compote. Top with Granola and a drizzle of red fruit syrup for a ‘bloody’ effect.
  2. Spiderweb Pancakes: Prepare this incredible Old-Fashioned Pancakes batter. Add Chocolate Sauce to a squeeze bottle and draw a spiderweb design.
  3. Zombie Toast: Avocado Toast gets a twist! Use olives and cherry tomatoes to create zombie eyes and a mouth.
  4. Mummy Sausage Rolls: Wrap sausages in puff pastry, leaving gaps for the ‘bandage’ effect. Two dots of mustard or ketchup can serve as eyes once baked. (Like these Hot Dog Mummies, but with breakfast sausage!)
  5. Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal: Prepare Oatmeal with pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, and a hint of maple syrup. Top with chia seeds or chocolate chips for a jack-o-lantern face. Or try this Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal instead.
  6. Eyeball Eggs: Make Deviled Eggs with s slice of olive in the center to give them the eyeball effect.
  7. Frankenstein Smoothie Bowls: Blend up our favorite Green Smoothie Recipe and use this recipe as inspiration for decorating it to look like Frankenstein.
  8. Coffin French Toast: Cut toast slices into coffin shapes before soaking them in the egg mixture. Once fried to perfection, dust with cocoa powder for an ‘aged’ effect.

  • APPLE MONSTER MOUTH: Core and slice the apple. Soak the apple slices in salted water for 5 minutes to prevent browning. Rinse with cold water and pat dry. Spread peanut butter on one side of two apple slices, then press them together. If needed, use toothpicks to help them stick. Optionally, insert a strawberry slice for the tongue. Embed sunflower seeds or pepitas in the peanut butter to resemble teeth. Optional: Adhere candy eyes using peanut butter.
