Sweet Potato & Dandelion Loaf

dandelion bread with nut butter

Confession time … coconut flour and I just can not get on. There, I said it. I really desperately wanted to love the stuff, but I just find it tough to work with, crumbly and so strong tasting it overpowers the flavour of everything else in the recipe. I’ve tried make so many different types of cookies with it but I just didn’t really like any of them.

So, rather than attempt yet another biscuit recipe, I thought I’d try a loaf. And maybe, just maybe I’ll finally fall in love with coconut flour. I love this loaf because of it’s ton of health benefits. It’s slightly sweet tasting thanks to the potato and apple and that works really well with oregano and rosemary. But feel free to add nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin ~ whatever you’d prefer.

You can of course make the loaf minus the dandelion flowers but they add such a beautiful colour and texture! They’re in season at the moment (uk) tons of them everywhere! I love foraged ingredients and their healing properties are amazing. Their flowers, leaves and roots are all edible and hold individual benefits which can aid with a range of medical complaints including anaemia, scurvy, skin problems, blood disorders, and depression. Dandelions, being diuretic in nature, promote urination, they’re brilliant at preventing urine infections. Plus who doesn’t love natures free ingredients 🙂
