Here’s a recipe for Strict Carnivore Zero Carb Pancakes, perfect for those following a zero-carb carnivore diet. These pancakes are made with only animal-based ingredients, keeping them simple, nutrient-dense, and satisfying.
Strict Carnivore Zero Carb Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 oz (60g) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tbsp beef gelatin powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- 1 tbsp melted beef tallow, butter, or ghee
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cream cheese, melted tallow (or butter), and a pinch of salt.
- Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy.
- If using beef gelatin powder, sprinkle it in and mix well. This will help create a slightly fluffier texture.
2. Heat the Skillet:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease it lightly with tallow, butter, or ghee.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour the batter onto the skillet in small circles (about 3–4 inches in diameter). The batter will spread slightly, so don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side, or until the edges are set and the bottom is golden.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.
4. Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm, stacked on a plate. Optionally, top them with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of crispy bacon bits, or melted butter.
Pro Tips:
- Thin Batter: If the batter seems too thin, let it rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly, or add a small pinch of gelatin powder.
- Portion Size: Keep the pancakes small for easier flipping since they’re delicate compared to traditional pancakes.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
Optional Toppings (Carnivore-Friendly):
- Melted butter or ghee
- Crispy bacon crumbles
- Whipped cream (made from heavy cream, no sweeteners)
These Strict Carnivore Zero Carb Pancakes are soft, savory, and completely satisfying. They’re perfect for breakfast or a comforting snack! 🥞🥓
