Sweet Potato Gratin is a warm and comforting dish that is perfect for cooler months, especially around the holidays. If you're up for baking, no matter what time of year it is then this recipe is also a great anytime of year brunch dish. When I first made this dish, I made a regular béchamel sauce, filled with butter, cream and flour. All the things that currently don't work for my family's gut health. So I spent time tweaking the recipe until I created the perfect tummy troubles free recipe to share with you.

Notes

You may use ½ lb of regular sweet potatoes mixed with ½ lb of golden sweet potatoes to add some color contrast to the dish.[br][br]If you don't have a problem with gluten you can substitute the cassava flour for regular flour. After you've melted the coconut oil in a hot pan, sprinkle the flour into the pan and mix together. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the coconut milk and almond or cashew milk.
