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!”

Wow. these are spectacular!!!!!! i def got the texture wrong but even with that, they were out of this world. Thank you!!!!
If using Bob’s gf flour do you have to add xantham or guar gum?
I’ve made these successfully with Bob’s flour and did not have to add any xanthan gum.
I only had about 1/3 cup of milk left, so I added warm condensed milk to make the difference and it worked out really well! I would have reduced the sugar had I known, ’cause I had sweetened condensed milk, but it was still awesome.
I love this recipe so much! Definitely one of my favorite pancakes. 🙂 but every time I make it, I end up with only 3 silver dollar pancakes. Am I doing something wrong?
These are delicious! My favorite thing about them is the consistency! such a light texture. How would you suggest replacing the milk for yogurt in a recipe like this?
Making these for breakfast right now! So excited 🙂 haven’t made a recipe yet that I was disappointed with. Katie I only found you about a month ago but I have a terrible sweet tooth and I think you saved me hahaha love love love! Keep up the great work you’re awesome!
Thank you so much, Amy!
Hi Katy,
I made this today for my daughter using white whole wheat flour and light coconut milk and they were rather moist and gummy. Any ideas on how to make them light and fluffy? This made 4 four-inch cakes.
Thanks!
Unfortunately the recipe doesn’t call for white whole wheat flour, so that’s probably what you did wrong in your batch. For more troubleshooting, you can always click on CCK’s recipe faq page at the top of the blog.
Oops, my bad, it actually was WHITE not www flour. I may give these another try once I replenish my spelt, but after reading several other commenters, I may just not like the texture that these come out with.
Could you substitute ground flax for the flour? We are doing a detox right now that doesn’t allow any dairy or gluten.
I just made these and they were FANTASTIC! Thanks for the recipe!
Just made this but I used oat flour because that’s what I had. They didn’t come out as fluffy but they were still really good!
