We are big pancake people over in the Ketconnect household. Nothing beats a hearty, fluffy, buttery pancake, and that includes these Pork Rind Pancakes! They are basically zero carb (except for the seasonings) and extremely filling. You can make them as a main dish, side dish or prep them for the week ahead.
Pancakes Make The Perfect Side Dish!
The first time Matt made these pork rind pancakes and I gave them a try I immediately thought of the green onion pancakes I used to get at Chinese restaurants. So, of course I highly recommend you try these with some additional spices and green onions in the batter to give them even more life! They can be served as your main dish or as as side dish, replacing the corn bread, toast or carb-y side you used to eat.
So, Are Pork Rinds Healthy For You?
Honestly, they are not something I would personally eat everyday. Once in a while for a movie snack or as something to munch on as I work at my computer they are fine, but there are much better sources of fat and protein! I would say making these pork rind pancakes would be great to pair alongside already nutritious meals, such as:
1. Low Carb Chili with Bacon2. Easy Pulled Pork3. Keto Chicken TendersOr, as seen in the picture below, you can just pile a stack of warm pancakes onto a plate and top them with butter to feed the animal inside! Just make sure these aren’t the only foods you eat in the day.
Zero Carb Pork Rind Pancakes
Pancakes are always a quick meal to whip up for the entire family. Just pair it with some eggs and bacon and you’ve got yourself a complete and nutritious meal. These ones will surprise and satisfy even your non-keto family and leave you feeling good with zero carbs under your belt.

I just happened upon this recipe and boy am I glad I did.! They were so easy to make and so delicious.
I’ll be making these regularly.
Thanks so much for sharing ?
Hmm. I wonder if unsweetened vanilla almond milk would work lol. It’s the only milk I have right now hehe
Yep!
Just made these and used them as a base for tostada
style dinner with chicken. So good and filling!
Video says 1/2 tsp of baking powder but written recipe says 1 tsp of baking powder. Which is it? I’d like to make these.
1 tsp!
Tried these without all the spices but salt and made a ” fry bread” to eat with low carb jam and they were very good. I did try one bite plain and it taste too much like pork rinds this early in the morning for me.
Hey guys, how salty do these taste? Are they as salty as porkrinds are by themselves?
They are a savory dish. 🙂
You guys hit a home run here — these are amazing! I made a batch this afternoon & rolled up my smoked sausage in it for a satisfying lunch!
This may be a dumb question but could you swap the milk with heavy cream or would that not work?
That should work! Just adjust the macros.
Hopefully you can see the link.
Not sure if your Publix has these Pork Rinds, but I feel that the macros are a tad better compared to the Pork Cloud. I personally use it for all breadcrumb required recipes, it taste great by itself, use as chips for dips, it’s a semi-neutral flavor that can really be shaped to whatever flavored breadcrumb (in this case pancakes) you’re trying to achieve. Seasonings really pop with it. Best of all inexpensive bag of rinds(like $2 for 4oz bag), that at times you can snag 2 for 1. Worst case, popular at the bodegas.
I will try these for sure!!
Im not to sure if im alone on this or if im to see a barrage of “oh no these pancakes are to die for” comments, but these sound disgusting and so therefore ima leave it that way i will NEVER give this recipe a try, but thanks for always sharing the content you do with new recipes all the time.
Great contribution.
Being rude, disrespectful, and down right nasty is not necessary. These two have offered ideas free of charge with the world. As it is your “freedom of speech” to say what you want how about a little graciousness and respect for what they do. No comment at all would have been just as easy and respectful.
You’re missing out, more pork rind pancakes for me I guess.
I’ve never commented before but I will just to let Holly Regan know how unnecessarily rude her comment is. Seriously, what …could possibly be your problem? You actually spent energy showing the world what kind of person you are. How about using that energy to contribute something positive and helpful as Megha has done time and time again.
You are so right!
Holly Regan without trying the recipe you left a very negative remark. I you’re not will to try it then why write a comment?
Dearest Holly Regan:
“Ima” (as you so eloquently put it) going to try to forget the stain you left on my brain (and others from what I see) and eat something off-the-wall and wonderful like these pancakes. Are you available for motivational speaking by any chance?
And you felt the need for negativity, why? I don’t care to try every recipe posted. Easy solution: scroll on by. Your negativity isn’t appreciated by many. Just sayin.
Holly, Please do not pass judgement on something about which you know nothing and have not made any effort to actually try. It is as stupid as judging a person based on physical appearance.
Made them right after I first read the recipe, they are awesome. Absolute genius!
Yay! Thank you!
Hi there,
Im alittle confused how the pancakes only have 1 card when milk and flax seed milk have carbs in them.
Thanks
Flax milk has 1g per cup, and its also distributed amongst 6 pancakes.
Is the macros for 1 pancake, or all 6?
Hi! The nutrition information listed is per serving. There is 1 pancake per serving.
Are the nutritional value for all 6 pancakes or for 1?
Hi! The nutrition information listed is per serving. There is 1 pancake per serving.
Nice idea, but actually not “zero carb”: coconut milk does contain carbs, even if you count just net you have to consider a small amount for this recipe…so it’s a great option for a “very low carb, high fat” pancakes recipe, but not “zero”… that been said, it surely worth a try, thank you!
The coconut milk used is less than 1 carb for a whole cup. They only use a half cup here. So for the whole batch the coconut milk only adds less than half a carb. This is negligible. You might be confused with the canned thick type. This is meant to be a low carb milk by silk brand.
How any servings in a batch? Just clarifying the calories
I had the same question Kelly. As per recipe above on top of page one serving is 6 pancakes. I’m assuming about 1 1/2 – 2 tbls per pancake?
How many pancakes are in each serving?
Hi! The nutrition information listed is per serving. There is 1 pancake per serving.
Looks good for savory. I will have to try this. I wonder how to use pork rinds but make it sweet. Hmmmm.
Cinnamon, vanilla extract or sugar free caramel and stevia.
Oh my gosh….make these into chicken and waffles!
Amazing idea!
