Chia powder is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids (check out this WebMD article), which are known to have a plethora of health benefits. Add more Stevia if you want a sweeter treat (the cocoa's strong taste is masks the slight bitter taste of Stevia). Enjoy!

Only 3 NET carbs per pancake! I like to sweeten with maple syrup, but I'm just very careful about how much I use. A quarter teaspoon goes a surprisingly long way mixed with a little bit of butter!
