Best 4-Ingredient Fluffiest souffle pancakes. Low-carb. Paleo friendly, Gluten free. Pin this for later

Ok, I came up with flouress, low-carb and gluten free version because I don’t like the overstuffed and over-bloated feeling in my belly when I eat the regular pancake loaded with sugar and flour. I’m going to try to make a regular version too and share it later, but for now I hope you enjoy this low carb version.

This recipe is good for 9-10 pancakes. Totally shareable and after 2 or 3 pancakes you feel full. By the way, the pancakes can be stored in a refrigerator for up to 5 days and they can be enjoyed as a bun for your meats perfectly.

Ingredients

4 large eggs (separate egg yolks from egg whites)

4 TBS Ricotta cheese (can sub for low fat Ricotta cheese)

2 TBS Almond flour (can sub for reg. or Gluten free flour)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Optional – 1 tsp Brown sugar (can sub for granulated sweetener of choice)

Directions

Preheat your pan on medium heat
Separate the eggs, there must be no yolk in the white.
In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, ricotta cheese, sugar and almond flour until smooth.
In the second bowl add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the whites and beat the whites on high speed using a hand mixer until they are fluffy, form a nice peaks and hold their peaks. It should take about 5-6 minutes and the egg whites mixture should look something like this:

Combine the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and mix carefully, you don’t want to break the fluffiness of the egg whites too much.
Spoon the mixture into 3 even rounds onto oiled pan ( I use Pure Avocado oil. I love it for it’s mild flavor and high heat up to 500 Degrees F ), and cover the pan with the lid.
Cook the pancake for about 3 minutes. Take a peak half way to make sure it is not burning. Then flip over, cover lid and cook for another 2 minutes and watch it until they become nice and golden brown. At this point you should be able to recognize the desired color of your pancake.
Remove from pan and and enjoy warm however you like – with butter, fruit or a boot of maple syrup

Remember the key to this recipe is 1. to beat the egg whites to stiffs (need about 5-7 minutes) 2. Cover with lid while cooking. Look how fluffy they are on the photo above. But don’t worry if they lose their rising once you remove them from the pan and place them on the plate.
