Carnivore Pancake Recipe

If you’re following a carnivore diet, you’re likely looking for a meal that’s high in animal protein and free from carbs or plant-based ingredients. These carnivore pancakes are a perfect way to start your day, offering a savory, satisfying breakfast packed with protein. You can customize this recipe to suit your preferences, adding ingredients like cooked ground beef for extra texture or making it simpler with just eggs and butter. Here’s the full recipe for making these delicious, high-protein carnivore pancakes.

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup ground beef (cooked, optional, for texture and extra protein)
• 2 tbsp heavy cream or unsweetened full-fat yogurt (optional, for a richer texture)
• 1-2 tbsp butter or ghee (for cooking and flavor)
• 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda (optional, for fluffier pancakes)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by cooking the ground beef if you’re adding it to your pancakes. Cook it thoroughly in a pan, breaking it into small pieces. Once cooked, set it aside to cool. If you’re not using ground beef, you can skip this step and proceed with just the eggs.

2. Mix the Pancake Batter: In a mixing bowl, crack two large eggs. Add the heavy cream (or yogurt) and whisk until smooth. The heavy cream or yogurt gives the pancakes a slightly richer texture, but this step is optional if you’re keeping things simple. If you want fluffier pancakes, mix in a small amount of baking soda. Next, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. If you’re using ground beef, fold it into the mixture at this point.

3. Heat Your Pan: Place a skillet or non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of butter or ghee. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan. Using butter or ghee is key to adding flavor and preventing the pancakes from sticking to the pan.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Once your pan is hot and the butter is melted, pour a small amount of the batter onto the pan, shaping it into a round pancake. You can make multiple small pancakes or one large one, depending on your preference. Cook the pancake until the edges begin to firm up and small bubbles form on the top, which should take about 2-3 minutes. When the bottom is golden and firm, flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until it’s golden brown.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the pancakes are cooked through, transfer them to a plate. You can top them with extra butter or even a side of crispy bacon or sausage for additional protein. These pancakes are best served hot and are a great way to kickstart your day with a filling, carnivore-friendly breakfast.

Tips:

• Customize: You can add in other animal-based ingredients like cooked bacon or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
• Fluffiness: The optional baking soda helps give the pancakes a bit of fluffiness, but if you prefer a denser texture, you can skip it.

These carnivore pancakes are the perfect, protein-packed meal to keep you full throughout the day, all while staying true to your carnivore lifestyle!
