Carnivore pancakes
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5-7 minutes
Total Time: 15-17 minutes
Servings: 2 pancakes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or ghee, for cooking
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, softened cream cheese, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or ghee to the pan and let it melt.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes hot with your choice of carnivore-friendly toppings, such as more butter, ghee, or a bit of crispy bacon.
Tips
- Consistency: The batter will be thinner than traditional pancake batter. Pour slowly to control the size of the pancakes.
- Blender Method: Using a blender or food processor ensures a smooth batter with no lumps of cream cheese.
- Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Optional Variations
- Savory Pancakes: Omit the cinnamon and vanilla extract, and add a pinch of salt for savory pancakes. Serve with bacon or sausage.
- Herbed Pancakes: Add fresh or dried herbs like chives, dill, or parsley for a different flavor profile.
These carnivore pancakes are simple, delicious, and perfect for a low-carb, high-fat diet. Enjoy!
