Too eggy. Too much of an omelet texture. Adding a little almond flour worked wonders.

These pancakes are wonderful! I will be having them a lot. It is very good to have a reliable recipe. Since I have been low carb now for 6 months I have tried many recipes that were awful! This one is a winner! Thank you!

This recipe is the best. Better than regular pancakes. These are spongy, filling and easy to make. I want to make an Eggs Benedict with these today!

These are the best pancakes, even better than normal high-carb pancakes! If you do not like them, you made them wrong or used the wrong kind of pork rinds.

I've been making this recipe for a while now, but in addition to the ingredients listed, I add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract or any flavor you like more or less depending on your taste. Makes quite a difference!

Just made them. They were awesome. I ended up making a breakfast sandwich with an egg and bacon. I like maple flavor, so I mixed a tablespoon sugar-free blackberry jam, water and some sugar-free syrup. I got that sweet and savory flavor from the pancake sandwich, that I love and miss in a low-carb diet. I added 2 tablespoons of water to the batter, because I like a thinner pancake.

Surprisingly delicious! After 9 months of eating low carb, I was getting very tired of eggs and bacon. Thanks so much for something different.

I use this recipe for waffles, pancakes, AND muffins! It is amazing! I just leave out or add spices and seasonings depending on what I am doing with it. Makes yummy low carb biscuits for biscuits and gravy!

Tastes like French toast more than pancakes. I still love them though!

By my count, this recipe has about 5.2 grams carbs per serving. 1.2 from eggs, 2.5 from cream and 1.5 from the sugar substitute. The pork rinds are carb-free.

How many carbs per serving?

I don't usually comment on recipes, but I couldn't believe how good these were! Every once in a while, you get a little bit of a bacon-ish taste, but if you crush the pork rinds really well (I used my food pro) and let the batter sit as recommended, you'll hardly be able to taste them. These are WAY better than the low carb mixes from the store!

As a parent of a newly diagnose T1D, I am scouring the net to feed my son. It is doubly bad since he is growing and always hungry. How can I find the actual carb count for these?

I was having serious pancake cravings and these were just what I needed. I cannot believe how good they were. I'm going to try a McGriddle type sandwich tomorrow using them.

Wow. I made this because me and my dad are the only ones in our family that are on Atkins. We added some berries and a little more cinnamon and spelnda. This was a great find! Thanks so much! ;)

These were great! I've started a low carb diet to lose the 30 pounds I gained. I stop smoking cigarettes after 40 years. I put down the cigarettes and started a sugar addiction. I will be using this recipe often.

I was good. I didn't LOVE it as much as some of the reviews here, but it did satisfy my pancake craving. Make sure to crumble the pork rinds very fine.

Due to the number of positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I couldn't even eat half a pancake. Pork rind pancake... I should have known better. I will mention that my husband (who'll eat anything) liked them and would eat them again.

I make a double batch of these for the week and use about 1 & 1/2 c of finely crushed pork skins. I run them in the food processor until there's an oily residue on the sides of the bowl. Not sure how much is in a bag - I buy mine at Sam's by the jug/barrel container for about $6.

I got my pork rinds already crumbled and just need to know how much to use in the recipe? 1/2 cup, 1 cup, etc. My daughter raves about these and I really want to try them. Thanks!

I added more cinnamon and splenda than it called for, but it kinda reminds me of Cinnamon toast crunch cereal... very yummy. I was quite surprised.

Can't believe this works. I used to love bites of bacon with pancakes and this has a bacon flavor built right in. What else can you do with pork rinds... bread... muffins?

These were a nice surprise! Very much like the real deal. I spread a little butter and some no-sugar-added apple butter on them and they were very tasty. The texture and flavor were wonderful. Be sure to grind the pork rinds til they resemble dust, lol!

These ARE wonderful! I vary the taste by adding 1 tsp. of different extracts - maybe eggnog for the holidays. A bit of rum extract tastes terrific if you slice a couple of strawberries over the top! Oh, and pumpkin spice in place of nutmeg is fabulous, especially during the fall. And maybe heat up the sugar-free syrup before you drizzle it. Orange or lemon extracts work brilliantly as well. Enjoy!

Can you use a low carb bread crumb instead or pork rinds? I have Atkin brad crumbs 3 net carbs.

We are new to low carb eating so after a month of no pancakes for breakfast we were starving for something good. THIS WAS GREAT! Thanks for the recipe.

The sounds of Pork Rind Pancakes was questionable, however, they are absolutely outstanding. I grind up my pork rinds and store them in an air tight container so they are ready when I wish to use them. Great as ''breadings'' on other foods as well.

Just made them- didn't have the cream- so used sugar free whip cream- about two teaspoons- and just wonderful! VERY suprisingly wonderful- made them for me and my picky eating 3 year old- and she even loved them!

I found its best to roll the pork rinds in a heavy plastic bag, to fine particles (with a rolling pin) to insure not having hard bee bee's in the pancake.

This recipe is the Bomb!!! You can also use this recipe to make bread for sandwiches if you omit the splenda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Like everyone else, found this concept very hard to get behind. After much debate I gave it a go. I could not believe it! I did make a alight change and cut the splenda down a bit as I do not like the recipe too sweet. Very good!

Wow! It looks like a pancake and tastes a bit more like french toast but that's good enough for me! Try it if you want a change from staring at eggs on your plate and wishing for something different.

I had second and even third thoughts about making these pancakes. It did not sound good at all, but being so tired of eating eggs I went for it. They were amazing. Tasted more like french toast than a pancake, but still did the trick!

I made your pancakes this morning... was a bit skeptical about how the pork rinds would taste... but wow, these pancakes are really good! I will be making them again for sure. It's great to be able to have pancakes while low carbing! Thank you for the recipe.

I made these pancakes today and they are very good! Glad I found the recipe; adds something new to the low-carb menu. My husband liked them also and he can be a bit picky about weird foods like this. Not sure what the cholesterol comment was about I did low-carb for a year and my cholesterol went down 29 points. I love McGriddles from McDonald's and since this seems to be a thicker pancake, I thought they would make wonderful low-carb "McGriddles."

I made these pancakes tonight... wow!!!! Try them... they are better than regular pancakes. Instead of syrup, I took a zero carb strawberry jello (can purchase in any supermarket)... added hot water to disolve (1/2 rec amount)and 1/4 tsp cornstarch to thicken... if not thick enough add a little more and micro for a min... served over pancakes with small dollop of real cream. Yummy.

By Todd S.

This sounds absolutely disgusting. Sorry. Why not use Oat, Buckwheat, or Rye Flour instead of Pork Rinds?

What you lose in carbs you make up with Cholesterol from all of the other obscure additives.

I advise you to read this link.

I made your low-carb pancakes with the pork rinds this morning. Instead of heavy cream, I substituted a tablespoon of fat-free margarine and about a quarter of a cup of fat-free ricotta cheese. I melted the butter in the microwave, and then let it cool briefly before adding the eggs and the cheese. Worked beautifully, lowered the fat content and calories.
