Carnivore Zero Carb Pancakes
This simple recipe for zero-carb pancakes is ideal for anyone following a carnivore or keto diet. It uses only animal-based ingredients to create light, fluffy pancakes that are rich in protein and fats.
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 oz cream cheese (or mascarpone cheese as an alternative)
- 1 tbsp melted butter or ghee (for cooking and flavor)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional, for fluffiness)
- A pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cream cheese, melted butter (or ghee), baking soda (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated. If you don’t have a blender, you can whisk everything together by hand until you achieve a creamy consistency.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or ghee to coat the pan. Let it melt and warm up for about a minute.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small dollops of batter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) onto the hot skillet. Let them cook for 1-2 minutes until you see the edges firming up and the top begins to set. Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove from the pan and serve immediately. These pancakes can be enjoyed on their own or topped with more butter, a drizzle of heavy cream, or even some bacon on the side for a savory touch.
These carnivore pancakes are an easy, filling, and delicious way to enjoy a zero-carb breakfast. They provide a rich, satisfying texture from the eggs and cream cheese, offering a great protein boost without any carbs.
