Pork Rind (Chicharron) Pancakes
Total Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients:
- 42g (1.5 oz.) of ground pork rinds
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk (or almond milk)
- 10 drops of liquid stevia (or a sweetener of your choice)
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil
- 2 tbsp. (32g) nut butter (or your choice of butter if you’re allergic to nuts)
Procedure:
- Grind the pork rind by putting it in a sealable bag (Ziploc) and crushing it with a rolling pin until it turns into a flour-like texture or powder. Use a spice grinder to make ground pork rind if you have one. Put it aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, stevia, and the coconut or almond milk. Put in the ground pork rind and cinnamon. Continue whisking until it starts to get a smooth consistency, then put it aside to let it thicken.
- Prepare a non-stick pan and heat the coconut oil. Once heated, put in your pancake batter and shape it the way you want it. Fry the pancakes until they turn brown and then flip them to the other side.
- After cooking, serve with some nut butter (or the butter of your choice). You could also top your pancakes with some sliced avocados for added healthy fats.
