Dairy Free Low Carb Keto Carnivore Protein Pancakes
These keto carnivore pancakes have 46 grams of protein and just 1 gram of carbs! No protein powder, no keto flours, no dairy! Just 4 simple ingredients needed! This carnivore pancake recipe can also be baked if you prefer!
Carbs in Regular Pancakes
Traditional pancakes made with all purpose flour or wheat flour is high in carbs and definitely not something you want to eat if your following a keto diet. It will definitely spike your blood sugar and kick you out of ketosis with 13.4 grams of carbs for just 1- 4 inch sized pancake.
Carbs in Keto Pancakes
I’ve got quite a few keto pancake recipes that all have their own unique pros and cons. A cream cheese keto pancake recipe was really popular back in the day when I started keto in 2015.
But I didn’t care for them, so I created my ricotta vanilla pancakes which are easy to make as you just blend them up and fry them. The con is that they have dairy and for many this is something that won’t work for you.
I also have a high protein pancakes recipe using cottage cheese that again is fabulous, but made with dairy. Both are a delightful low carb breakfast and suitable for anyone on a keto diet or low carb diet.
I’ve also got my very popular 3 ingredient protein pancakes which are actually my protein waffles recipe using unflavored protein powder, eggs and cottage cheese. Widely popular for a high-protein breakfast but again using dairy with the cottage cheese and whey.
Keto Protein Pancakes
Our new carnivore fluffy pancakes are made without dairy, without using any keto flours like almond flour or coconut flour and without any whey protein powder which i know many don’t like or want to use.
Our easy protein pancakes have 46 grams of protein per serving which is 6 low carb pancakes on recipe card below!
It’s literally just 3 eggs for 6 fluffy protein pancakes but if feels so hearty and filling! Just 1 total carb per 6 pancakes.
No dietary fiber so no net carbs. The full printable recipe instructions card is at the bottom of this page.
The best part about these amazing carnivore pancake batter is that you can fry in a frying pan or bake them in the oven for less work.
My hubby and youngest son who are doing the carnivore diet for the month of March, loved them both ways. The benefit of the baking is that you don’t need to stand at a stove to flip and you use a lot less fat to cook them.
In my opinion, I loved both in texture but prefer the fried ones since I think they have a little more flavor because of the oil I used to fry them in the hot pan.
Either way, if you’re looking to reduce the fat intake, bake these low-carb protein pancakes instead.
Can I skip whipping the egg whites?
If you decide not to whip the egg whites and blend it all together in a food processor or stand mixer, you will have flat low-carb pancakes.
If you want delicious fluffy pancakes without using baking powder to help them rise, whip the egg whites as written in my protein pancake recipe.
Flavor Options and Healthy Toppings
If you’re not following the carnivore diet and want some sweetness or flavor options try vanilla extract with liquid vanilla stevia.
If you like lemon, you could use some lemon zest and lemon liquid stevia.
If you like chocolate, add some sugar free dark chocolate chips and sweeten this simple protein pancakes recipe and use chocolate liquid monk fruit sweetener.
