The gluten-free strawberry dumplings details.

Typically strawberry dumplings are made with potatoes, but I wanted to add extra nutrients and less sugar, so I made them with sweet potatoes. This recipe requires a bit of work, but it is well worth it. First, the sweet potatoes are cooked, then mashed with coconut oil or butter, ground flaxseed, eggs and rice flour. Once the dough is made, the dough is wrapped around each strawberry then cooked in boiling water. The topping is super easy, slice a few more strawberries and sprinkle them with coconut sugar. Place the strawberries in a microwave for thirty seconds, or long enough to soften the strawberries. The strawberries are then poured over the cooked dumplings and topped with ground nuts. I like pecans, but walnuts are just as delicious!
