Cook Time: 15 to 20 (low indirect heat)
Total Time: 25-30 Minutes
Yield: 3 Large (6 Small)
Category: Breakfast
Method: Frying
Diet: Dairy-Free, Diabetic, Gluten-Free, Keto, Low-Carb

Ingredients

3 eggs, room temperature
1 tbsp beef gelatin
1 tbsp powdered sweetener
1/4 tsp double acting baking powder (zero carb)
Avocado oil spray

Instructions

Let the eggs come to room temperature.
Separate the eggs, placing the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
Using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites to firm peaks. Set aside.
Add the beef gelatin and powdered sweetener to the egg yolks.
Using a hand mixer, beat the yolk mixture on high speed until very thick and pale.
Spray a large non-stick sauté or fry pan with avocado oil spray and place it over low heat.
Working quickly, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites. Mix rapidly with the hand mixer until incorporated.
Add another heaping tablespoon of yolks and mix again.
Add the remaining yolk mixture and quickly mix until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Spoon the batter into the pan to make 3 large pancakes. Place the pancakes around the outside edge of the pan.
Position the pan so the center of the pan receives the direct heat while the pancakes cook with indirect heat.
Cook on low heat for about 10–15 minutes, or until the pancakes appear cooked and firm about 3/4 of the way up the sides.
Lightly touch the side of a pancake. If batter sticks to your finger, do not flip yet. Wait until the pancakes are almost fully cooked before turning.
Carefully flip using a spatula and cook the second side until lightly golden.
Transfer to a plate. Serve with butter and sugar-free syrup if desired.

Why Sweetener Carbs Are Not Included

Powdered sweeteners made primarily with erythritol are commonly excluded from keto net carb calculations because erythritol is not metabolized like regular sugar or starch. It contributes little to no usable glucose and has minimal impact on blood sugar or insulin levels. For this reason, the sweetener in this recipe is calculated as zero net carbs. Values are based on large eggs and Organica bovine gelatin and can change according to the brands you use.
