I finally got to reintroduce cocoa after months of following the AIP. So far I've reintroduced egg yolks and almonds without an issue. But sweet peppers and goji berries were a no go. Cocoa seems to be fine so far. But I've struggled to find ways to use it since I still can't have sugar. It turns out there's not a lot of savory recipes using cocoa (duh). Anyhow, I created this very tasty pancake recipe. I made it without honey, so it wasn't sweet. But adding in a bit of honey or maple syrup would definitely kick these up a notch. The consistency was perfect.
