Carnivore Pancakes Recipe
These carnivore pancakes are a rich, savory twist on the classic breakfast dish, ideal for those following a meat-heavy or zero-carb lifestyle. Made with eggs, cream cheese, and a variety of meats, these pancakes are sure to keep you full and satisfied. This recipe is simple, protein-packed, and flavorful, providing a meaty alternative to traditional pancakes.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or ghee, for cooking
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Meat:
- Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks until browned and crispy. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it and set aside.
-
Mix the Pancake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, softened cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth and well-combined.
- Add the crumbled sausage and bacon to the bowl, mixing them into the batter. If you want a fluffier texture, add 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter or ghee to coat the surface.
- Pour a few spoonfuls of the pancake batter into the skillet, shaping them into small, round pancakes. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until the edges begin to set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more butter or ghee as needed.
-
Serve:
- Serve the carnivore pancakes hot, garnished with additional crumbled bacon or sausage if desired. You can also drizzle more heavy cream or top with melted butter for added richness.
Tips:
- If you like your pancakes a little more savory, you can add some grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan work well) to the batter.
- These pancakes pair well with a side of scrambled eggs or more crispy bacon for an even heartier meal.
Enjoy these flavorful, meat-filled pancakes for a filling breakfast that sticks to your carnivore lifestyle!
