🥞 Carnivore Soufflé Pancakes (Ultra Fluffy & Zero-Flour)

Light, airy, and protein-packed — these melt-in-your-mouth pancakes are made with only animal-based ingredients. Perfect for carnivore, ketovore, or low-carb lifestyles.

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4–5 thick pancakes)

3 large eggs, separated
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp melted butter (plus more for pan)
Pinch of salt (optional)

Strict Lion Diet Version:
Skip cream cheese. Use 1 extra egg yolk + 1 tbsp beef tallow instead (texture will be slightly less fluffy but still airy).

🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Whip the Egg Whites

Add egg whites to a clean bowl.
Beat until stiff peaks form.
(They should stand straight up when you lift the whisk.)

👉 This step creates the soufflé texture.

2️⃣ Mix the Yolks

In another bowl, whisk:

Egg yolks
Cream cheese
Melted butter
Pinch of salt

Mix until smooth and creamy.

3️⃣ Fold Gently

Fold whipped whites into yolk mixture in 2–3 batches.
Use a spatula and gentle folding motion.
Do NOT stir aggressively — keep the air inside.

4️⃣ Cook Low & Slow

Heat a non-stick pan on low heat.
Lightly butter the pan.
Spoon tall mounds of batter (don’t flatten).
Cover with lid and cook 3–4 minutes.

Flip carefully and cook another 2–3 minutes covered.

Low heat is key — high heat will burn outside before inside sets.

🧈 Texture Tips

Want extra tall pancakes? Add 1–2 tbsp water to whites before whipping.
Want richer texture? Add 1 extra yolk.
Too runny? Whites weren’t whipped enough.

🥩 Carnivore Toppings

Melted butter
Whipped heavy cream
Crispy bacon crumbles
Mascarpone (if ketovore)

❓ Q&A

Q1: Are these zero carb?

Almost. Eggs contain trace carbs (~0.4g each). Very low carb and carnivore-friendly.

Q2: Why did mine go flat?

Whites under-whipped
Overmixed batter
Pan too hot

Q3: Can I bake instead?

Yes. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 12–15 minutes in greased ramekins.

Q4: Can I meal prep them?

They’re best fresh, but you can refrigerate up to 2 days and reheat gently.

Q5: Do they taste eggy?

Less than regular eggs — texture changes the flavor experience. Toasting lightly reduces egg taste further.
