🦃🎃 Gobbles’ Haunted Harvest Brunch
The leaves are falling, the candles are glowing, and the scent of pumpkin spice fills the air — which can only mean one thing… it’s time for Gobbles’ Haunted Harvest Brunch! 🍂✨
This week, Gobbles decided to host a brunch for the whole Brunch Squad, and let’s just say his definition of “spooky season” might lean more silly than scary. Between the flickering candlelight, the pumpkin tower centerpiece (that fell twice), and the slightly overcooked maple bacon, it was pure autumn chaos in the best way possible.
🕯️ Setting the Scene
Gobbles transformed his farmhouse kitchen into a cozy haunted hideaway — rustic tablecloths, ghost-shaped napkins, and more pumpkins than anyone thought possible. 🎃
Mimi brought her mimosa bar (of course), Herb brought his homemade cinnamon butter, and The Socialite showed up in a black velvet blazer that shimmered under the candlelight.
But the real showstopper? Gobbles’ Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Butter & Cinnamon Sugar Dust. 🥞🍁
They’re light, fluffy, perfectly spiced, and absolutely worth the mess he made trying to flip them mid-story.
🍴 Pumpkin Pancakes with Maple Butter & Cinnamon Sugar Dust
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup buttermilk
½ cup pumpkin purée
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Maple Butter:
¼ cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
In another bowl, mix wet ingredients (buttermilk, pumpkin purée, egg, melted butter, vanilla).
Combine the two until smooth.
Heat a greased griddle or pan over medium heat.
Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake; cook until bubbles form, then flip.
For maple butter: whip all ingredients together until fluffy.
Serve warm, dusted with cinnamon sugar and topped with maple butter.
Optional Pairing: Apple Cider Mimosas 🍎🥂
✨ Behind the Brunch
Like every Brunch Squad get-together, things didn’t exactly go according to plan — the haunted house playlist got replaced by disco, the whipped cream mysteriously vanished, and somehow, Gobbles’ hat ended up on the chandelier.
But that’s the charm of a Gobbles brunch: it’s messy, warm, and full of heart.
Because in the end, it’s not about the perfect table setup — it’s about the friends who show up hungry, laugh through the chaos, and leave with full hearts (and bellies). 💕
