🧇 Carnivore Waffles (Zero Carb)
These easy carnivore waffles are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and made with just a few animal-based ingredients. No flour, no plant foods – just pure protein and fat fuel!
📋 Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for creamier texture)
- 1 tbsp melted butter or bacon fat
- Optional: pinch of salt or seasoning (e.g., garlic powder, but this is technically not pure carnivore)
🧑🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream cheese (if using), and melted butter until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheese until well combined.
- Grease the waffle maker lightly with butter or beef tallow.
- Pour in the mixture and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove carefully, let cool slightly, and enjoy!
📝 Notes:
- The waffles will crisp more as they cool.
- Use a mini waffle maker (like Dash) for the best texture.
- Mozzarella gives a more neutral flavor; cheddar adds sharpness.
- Add leftover ground beef, bacon bits, or sausage for a heartier version.
💡 Tips:
- For a crispier finish, sprinkle cheese directly on the waffle iron before adding batter.
- These freeze well! Reheat in toaster or air fryer.
- Can be used as a bread substitute for sandwiches or burgers.
- Make a sweet version by using mascarpone and topping with whipped cream (if not strict carnivore).
