AIP Bacon Herb Biscuits
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon sliced into ½ inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced thyme
- 8 ounces peeled yellow plantain
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat
- ½ cup arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 tablespoon gelatin
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook chopped bacon over medium heat in a large skillet for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Stir in minced garlic and thyme, and let cook until garlic is fragrant about 1 minute.
- Spoon bacon-herb mixture in a small bowl, leaving bacon fat in pan to use in step 4. Set aside.
- Place plantain in food processor or high-powered blender and pulse until broken up into small pieces. Add remaining ingredients to blender, except the bacon-herb mixture, and blend until a smooth, wet dough has formed.
- Spoon mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in bacon-herb mixture.
