I know I haven’t been writing much lately so here’s a little update. (I will update on Mad a little later.) In January I went to the Dr. for my plantar fasciitis and he mentioned that when we started eating low carb it helped with his pain. I figured what would it hurt to give it a try? We all know I can stand to lose some weight too. Since the 26th of Jan. I have lost 24lbs! It hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t been as hard as I thought either. My pain hasn’t subsided a bit though but I will still continue with the low carb eating. I know all that sugar wasn’t good for me but I do miss having my cereal when I don’t want to cook.
I was missing pancakes and waffles and I hunted up a low carb pancake recipe. There are a lot out there but I still haven’t gone out and bought all the low carb stuff like almond flour and all the other good flours out there. I found one that was made from pork rinds. Yep, you read that right, Pork Rind Pancakes!! I thought yuck, but was willing to give it a try. (and I need to find a new sugar free syrup, it’s 11g for 1/4 cup and that is half my days worth of carbs!)
I decided to give the pancakes a go this morning. My daughter just set there with her nose curled up as I was making them. Once they were done and we tried them they weren’t that bad! A little denser than regular pancakes but not bad. She said they tasted like cinnamon rolls and I just wondered what kind of cinnamon rolls she’s been eating because, um, no! Nothing like the cinnamon rolls I remember!

Low-Carb Pancakes (Pork Rinds)
(1 serving) Printable Version
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 of a 3-oz bag of unflavored pork rinds
- 3 packets of Splenda (or other sugar alternative)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 dash nutmeg
Crumble pork rinds until they resemble bread crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy then add remaining ingredients and continue to beat until well mixed. Add pork rinds to the egg/cream mixture and set aside for 5 minutes to allow batter to thicken.
Cook on a lightly greased skillet as you would any pancake recipe. Drop batter on surface large spoonfuls. Cook until each side is lightly browned.
Serve with butter and a low-carb store bought syrup. Or for an interesting low-carb topping, mix 1 Tablespoon of sugar-free jam with 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons water and microwave for 45 seconds.
For more low-carb recipes try Mr. Breakfast's Low-Carb Breakfast Index.
These pork rinds are surprisingly low in fat and have zero carbs. They may sound pretty crazy, but these little pancakes are fantastic!
