The beauty of these carnivore beef liver pancakes is their simplicity and nutrient density. Beef liver is one of the most nutrient-packed foods, rich in vitamins A, B12, iron, and essential fatty acids, making it an excellent addition to a carnivore or keto diet. Combined with eggs and ghee, this recipe offers a rich source of healthy fats and proteins without any carbs. The pancakes are tender and savory, with a mild liver flavor that’s complemented by the buttery richness of ghee. It’s an easy, quick, and satisfying way to start your day with powerhouse nutrition!
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. raw beef liver
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp. melted ghee (or butter)
- Sea salt (to taste)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef Liver: Begin by prepping the beef liver. If you’re not a fan of the taste, you can soak it in milk for 1-2 hours before using it. This helps to reduce the strong flavor. After soaking, rinse the liver well under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the liver to a blender or food processor. Blend until it breaks down into a smooth puree. Next, add the eggs, melted ghee, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Blend until everything is fully combined and the mixture becomes smooth. This should resemble a thin pancake batter. If the batter seems too thick, you can thin it with a little water or more ghee.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of ghee or butter to grease the pan. Once the pan is hot, pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, creating pancake-sized rounds. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and allow them to rest on a plate. Sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top if desired, and serve immediately. These pancakes can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of crispy bacon for an all-carnivore breakfast.
- Optional Variations: To add a bit more richness to the recipe, you can add a tablespoon of beef tallow or bone marrow to the batter. Alternatively, to increase the nutrient content, consider adding an extra yolk or even a little bit of collagen powder.
