Monday Breakfast: Gluten-free Vegan purple potatoes and dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds bread. 🌱🍠🍞😋❤️🌺

Hello everyone, hope you have a great start of the week! 🤗

For Breakfast today, I baked purple potatoes bread with dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. I used 1 cup of grain-free bread+muffin mix (made with chia, almond flour, coconut flour) and 1/2 cup of potato starch mixed with purple potatoes purée (200g 🍠). Mixture included: baking powder, xathan gum, and one tbsp of olive oil. Added dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds as the last step. Baked at 375F for 30 mins.

I enjoyed this with a cup of chilled Ajwain seeds and Goji berries 🍵

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

I wonder why it is not purple as I expected it to be, maybe pigment of purple potatoes is not strong enough to come through. 🤔

Looks alright KoKo , maybe something to do with the potatoes all I would suggest is have another go and add a bit more purple potatoes puree.

[Hidden in reply to Byron2020]

Hi Byron2020, thank you for your suggestion! It tastes exactly how I like and expect it to be except the color. The mixture paste had a lilac, light purple color and within 30 mins baking was when the color disappeared. I sure will try again and this time maybe steam, add more purée, make it into a cake and see what happens. 😁👍

Thanks for sharing another healthy GF vegan dessert idea. Hey if the taste comes out great then the color doesn't matter👍😅. I'm sure you're right ,it probably has something to do with the baking process that caused its loss of color. Maybe it reacted with another ingredient🤷🏻‍♂️. Hopefully it will stay purple for you next time😊. Have a good night🙏🤗.

You’re welcome Zazen! 🤗🙏

It can be a dessert, I didn’t have the loaf shaped pan at the moment. 😂 Yes, it tastes great and it’s okay if it’s not purple but I’ll try again and see 😁👍

Enjoy the rest of your evening! 😊

Hey Koko this is one lovely breakfast showing more of your creativity.

It's the starch and sugars that makes sweet potatoes look white inside when cooked.

You enjoy your amazing bread now and thanks for sharing as its a great idea. 😁

Hi Jerry, thank you very much for saying that, much appreciated! 😊🙏

You are absolutely right the starch, sugar, bread mix won’t make it purple as I experimented again today even I changed the amount of ingredients, still won’t come through. 😅

I’m happy to share my cooking and finds with everyone here! 🤗

I think this looks wonderful, GF bread is very difficult to make, so this is a real achievement and sounds wonderful, that would be perfect in the winter being dipped into some piping hot tomato soup 🙃 Thank you for sharing Koko

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Awe Debs I can’t wait to see your hearty winter food creations for fall/winter coming around.😇

Mmm. That sounds very tasty. What is the texture like? I might try it with sweet potatoes. I love pumpkin seeds and it is berry season here in the UK.

Last year was a bumber crop, this year not so good but a few small and rather sharp blackberries to be had.

Thank you for sharing. 💜

Hi Mitzy200, thank you very much for saying that, much appreciated! 😊🙏

The texture inside is soft and moist very close to potato texture I would say. I used the grain free bread mix instead so I think it would be different if you choose regular flour. 🤔

(I included the picture of my bread mix below for reference).

That’s perfect to try making bread with seasonal crops of pumpkin seeds and berries. I’m sure you will enjoy this combination very much. 😋👍

You are very welcome, I’m happy to share with everyone here! 🤗❤️

Sweet potatoes are so healthy and delicious to have, I bet your kids would love this so much with dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds! 😁

[Hidden]

Yes definitely, I’m sure she will like cooking simple things like this and it’s very nice to share with our parents these small treats!🤗
