I've tried them and they're pretty good. Hope you don't mind me sharing the link here (I'm not affiliated in any way. I just like some of her recipes. She's been very helpful in helping me change my diet to more whole foods.) http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/making-homemade-chocolate-chips-in-detail If you are looking for ways to make your own chocolate chips (they will not be shaped like the chips you buy, but rather like small chunks of chocolate) and you can make them with natural ingredients, there is a recipe at Heavenly Homemakers that gives a tutorial for making them.

Ended up adding some gluten free baking mix (I know it is not Paleo). I would also suggest roasting the peppers the night before. Pancakes were very difficult to make.

You can mix it all together and freeze it that way, but the quinoa and kale might get a little mushy. And, no, I didn't stir once it was in there. The egg just tends to settle in around the quinoa and kale on its own. That’s the way I do it, yes.

But if you were to try it, I'd say add about 10-15 minutes to the oven. So maybe 30 minutes at 350.

Also add just a touch of agave. I like them with the substitutes. However, the husband popped one in his mouth and then to the trash can it went.

Raw eggs to fine. They might be a little watery though. We usually recommend baking items like these from frozen so that there is less water on them but you need to bake them longer.
