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!”

You are seriously the pancake genius! haha I am so excited to find this recipe…because I was talking to my husband and I asked him what a snickerdoodle was..I said dessert and he said a dog. I need to surprise him this week, to show him snickerdoodle is an awesome dessert 🙂 Thanks for the post!
can i use another type of flour instead of spelt?
Sorry, I haven’t tried so I really can’t predict the results of another flour other than what’s listed.
Katie, made these pancakes this am and they were soooo good. I could make the fast enough for the family. Thank you soooo much… I love your site. When is your cookbook coming out!!! Definitely buying one!!
Aw thank you, Kim! I just started writing it, so it’ll be awhile.
Do NOT try using Better Batter to make this gluten-free. FAIL. Stretchy, rubbery, nasty pancake…lol. I think my from-scratch mix will work great, but I am missing my finely ground brown rice flour. My store is out of it, and ordering it online incurs MAJOR shipping costs. So will make this with all of its gluten-y goodness once this weekend. 🙂 This really does taste like the cookie…
These pancakes are AMAZING. I made them this morning and they changed my life. Seriously, so good. So good that I posted the recipe on my blog and threatened to write you a love letter. So thank you!!! I love your site and your recipes 🙂
Aw I just saw your post… I almost didn’t make it to the pancakes, because the puppy was too cute :).
Just made these for a quick breakfast. I let the kids eat first…then they went after mine! Super yummy!
Hey Katie, I’ve never had fat free pancakes and you often say “Add 1 tbs oil if you don’t like fat free pancakes.” Just curious, what do they taste like? How are they different? Ps: You should make more oatmeal recipes! I love the ones you’ve made!
Don’t know about the “healthy” part but they sure are delicious. Just had them for dinner. lol
these were the best pancakes i ever had, and i mean EVER. thanks katie!!
These sound delicious, I repinned, to win.
I repinned the snickerdoodle Pancakes. Yum!!
I re-pinned the snickerdoodle pancakes. Anything “snickerdoodle” has to be delicious!
Hi, love the flavor, but mine were gooey in the middle even though golden brown on outside. I have never used spelt before – is that the nature of spelt? Also, do you cook these on a fairly hot griddle just like a regular pancake. Thanks! I’m new to discovering your site. My 17 year old daughter loves the cinnamon bun baked oatmeal. Until now she has refused to eat any oatmeal. Now she requests these every morning. Thanks!
I’m not sure because mine turned out just fine, but try cooking your pancakes on a slightly lower heat and wait until the bubbles appear on the top, before you flip them.
I just had to drop you a line. I found your site honestly by stumbling upon in it. I have been so tired of boring eggs for my sons breakfast and started with your oatmeal bakes. i am now starting on pancakes i just mixed up snickerdoodle for morning and almost cant wait they smell so good way to go making healthy taste good!
Thank you for trying them, Angi! 🙂
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.
