🥞🔥 Carnivore Fluffy Pancakes

Forget flour and sugar—these Carnivore Fluffy Pancakes are a protein-packed, ultra-satisfying alternative that blow traditional pancakes out of the water. With a tender texture and buttery flavor, they’re ideal for low-carb, keto, and carnivore diets alike. Bonus: they’re quick to whip up and endlessly customizable with zero guilt.

📝 Ingredients (Base Version):

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 oz cream cheese (or 1/2 cup, softened)
  • 2 tbsp beef gelatin (gives the “fluffy” texture – like flour!)
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee (for cooking)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: splash of vanilla extract or cinnamon (for more flavor, if tolerated)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Blend the Batter
    • In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream cheese, gelatin, and salt.
    • Blend or whisk until very smooth—no lumps. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to activate the gelatin.
  2. Heat the Pan
    • Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add a small amount of butter or ghee.
  3. Cook the Pancakes
    • Pour small rounds of batter (about 3–4 inches wide) into the pan.
    • Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, flipping once bubbles form and the edges firm up.
    • Repeat until all batter is used.
  4. Serve & Enjoy!
    • Serve warm with a pat of butter, whipped cream cheese, or even bacon slices on top!

🍽️ Servings:

Makes 6–8 small pancakes (Serves 2)

🔍 Notes:

  • Beef gelatin is key for fluffiness! It mimics the structure that flour provides in regular pancakes.
  • You can double the batch and refrigerate the leftovers—great for meal prep.

💡 Tips:

  • For extra richness, separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until fluffy—fold into the batter for extra airy pancakes.
  • Want it sweeter (but still carnivore-ish)? Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
  • Use a ring mold for perfect circular shapes and even thickness.
  • Make a savory version: add shredded cheese or crispy bacon bits to the batter!

❓ Q&A:

Q: Can I use bone broth protein powder instead of gelatin?
A: Yes! It works similarly but may be less fluffy—great for added nutrition though.

Q: What toppings are allowed on carnivore?
A: Try butter, whipped cream cheese, unsweetened mascarpone, or melted cheese. For keto-carnivore, a small drizzle of sugar-free syrup may be okay.

Q: Can I prep the batter in advance?
A: Yes! Store in the fridge up to 24 hours. Let it sit at room temp for 10 mins before cooking for best texture.

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: Use duck fat or tallow for cooking and replace cream cheese with a mix of egg yolks and beef tallow.

Q: Are these freezer-friendly?
A: Absolutely. Freeze in layers with parchment paper. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
