Good morning, Snickerdoodles!
Do you like snickerdoodle cookies? They’re not my favorite, because they don’t have chocolate! But my mom adores snickerdoodles. So, for Mothers’ Day, I decided to get creative with her breakfast.
Apparently, the name “snickerdoodle” comes from a German word for “snail noodles” (a type of pastry). Yummy? 😕
Snickerdoodle Pancakes
(makes 6 super-fat pancakes)
- 1/2 cup spelt, all-purpose, or Bob’s gf flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp sugar (You can use less if you’re planning to top with syrup and therefore don’t want the actual pancakes to taste sweet. With this amount, the pancakes taste kind of like cookies, even with no toppings!)
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp milk of choice, or more for thinner pancakes
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- tiny bit over 1/16 tsp salt
- Unless you like the texture of fat-free pancakes, I recommend adding 1 tbsp oil (for fat-free, use an extra tbsp milk of choice)

She loved them! After adding just a smidge of vegan butter and a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon sugar (more for appearance than taste), she proclaimed, “I feel like I’m eating snickerdoodle cookies for breakfast!”

Why spelt flour in all your recipes??? Also you are so thin how in the world do you achieve that and make and eat all this delicious stuff???
Made today with whole wheat flour and added 1 serving of liquid egg whites and these were amazing! Sooooo delicious. I yielded 4 decent sized pancakes which was more than enough for me. Thanks for these recipes.
Could I use water as the liquid?
I didn’t have any regular soy milk so I used chocolate soy milk instead, and it tastes great!!!
I don’t mean to be negative, because I love everything on your site – but these tasted terrible. I was so disappointed. Flat, somehow, and icky. Like not filling enough but left a bad taste in my mouth.
LOVE your blueberry muffin ones, though! You’re gorgeous and wonderful. 🙂 Just an honest opinion.
Oh my god…. oh my god! I just got through eating a batch of these and let me tell you folks, these pancakes are absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!! Best pancakes ever made. Period. Like holy crap these were good. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting them to turn out good at all. Mainly because I’ve cooked up my fair share of these so-called “diet” and vegan pancakes, and, quite frankly, they’ve never turned out good. So I admit I was pretty skeptical about these. But whoa man, as soon as I took a bite out of these pancake-shaped pieces of heaven, I about died with how good they were! Delicious AND healthy? Incredible! Although…. I do admit that I did decide to throw in the tbs. of canola oil… and I DID sprinkle some cinnamon-sugar on top… but still! I’m sure they’d still be delicious without them 🙂 The texture was just awesome. It was super dense, thick, chewy, and filling – just like a snickerdoodle cookie! One batch and I was stuffed! They were soft and very snickerdoodle-like, much to my surprise. Will DEFINITELY be making these again. Maybe one day I’ll go crazy and add in a little bit of cocoa powder or peanut butter ^_^ Thanks soo much for this amazing recipe, it tasted JUST like that favorite cookie of mine, great job Katie. 🙂
Unfortunately I made this gluten and dairy free(due to allergies) and they did not turn out well 🙁 they were flat, chewy, and the flavor didn’t come through 🙁
I just had to laugh really hard when I saw you talking about “snail noodles” 😀 The german word Schneckennudeln refers to a patstry which is made of yeasted dough that gets rolled out, then covered in cinnamon, sugar, sometimes raisins or nuts and butter and then rolled up. It’s similar to cinnamon rolls! And very delicious.
What I am really wondering about now is, why do us germans have so many patries that are called “noodles”? Weird!
Hey Katie, I’m german and I recently discovered your blog. Chocolicious! I just wanted to tell you the german word “snickerdoodles” relates to. It’s “Schneckennudel” (pronounced something like “shnackennoodle”) and it’s referring to the snail’s shell, not to its body 😀 it’s a kind of pastry made from yeast and cinnamon/nuts/poppy seeds and it’s absolutely yummy!
