Hi, Friends! So glad you’ve joined us for our Recipe Swap Friday.
For the next few weeks, we’re sharing treats that are just-sweet-enough. Mine will be sweetened with alternative sweeteners (honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar…..) but yours can be any treat that’s not-too-sweet.
Join me? As usual, you can link up to your favorite recipe below, either on your blog or in your Plan to Eat account. If linking up to your Plan to Eat account, just cut and paste the url from the recipe in your recipe book.
This week I’m bringing:
This bread was a winner in lots of ways. Foremost, it is gluten-free, and easily adapted to be dairy free (I used grapeseed oil instead of butter). Second, it has absolutely no sweetener in it. Nada. I was disappointed in this at first, but then realized it was the perfect foil for a smear of pumpkin butter, which made it just delicious.
If I was going to be making this to be served by itself as a treat, I’d consider adding some honey or agave nectar to sweeten it up just a bit. But I loved it just like it was for breakfast.
For those of you who are familiar with such things, this recipe (as written, not with my suggested adaptations) is SCD (and I think GAPS?) compliant.
