These Sweet Potato Blinis are a nourishing, anti-inflammatory twist on the traditional pancake, perfectly suited for those managing autoimmune conditions and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, they’re designed to support digestion and reduce systemic inflammation.

Sweet potatoes provide a foundation of slow-releasing carbohydrates that are gentle on the gut and rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and potassium. These nutrients are essential for immune function, reducing oxidative stress, and supporting mucosal healing in the digestive tract, particularly important for individuals with IBD or chronic inflammation.

Unlike typical blinis made with wheat flour and processed ingredients, these are crafted from whole, healing foods chosen to calm the immune system and nourish the body from within. Their soft, easy-to-digest texture makes them ideal during flare-ups or periods of digestive sensitivity.

These Sweet Potato Blinis are highly versatile, enjoy them with gut-healing toppings like smashed avocado, wild salmon, or probiotic-rich coconut yogurt and berries. Every ingredient works in harmony to stabilize blood sugar, promote microbiome balance, and reduce inflammatory triggers.

Whether eaten for breakfast, as a snack, or part of a meal, Sweet Potato Blinis offer delicious support for those on an anti-inflammatory, gut-healing path. They’re proof that food made for healing doesn’t need to sacrifice comfort or taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sweet potato mash
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic granules
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Directions

  1. In a bowl, place all the ingredients except the olive oil.

  2. Mix well until you get a smooth and homogenized mix.

  3. Heat a pan and add the olive oil. Scoop the mixture with a tablespoon, creating mini pancakes.

  4. Cook just like you would pancakes, about a couple of minutes on each side.

Serving Tips

Use the sweet potato mash recipe and make a batch so you can use it in different ways. Sweet potato cottage pie, sweet potato blinis, on its own, etc.

This is perfect on its own for breakfast, as blinis with smoked salmon and dill or with a salad for a source of good carbohydrates.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the individual servings. Place them on a baking sheet, then when fully frozen, remove and place them in the container/bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place in a preheated oven 180 C/ 350 F for 20 minutes.

Healing inflammatory bowel conditions like ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and diverticulitis can be a truly enjoyable experience with Eat Burn Sleep. This Regular Shakshuka is a perfect example of how food can be both therapeutic and delicious.

Each ingredient in this dish is carefully selected to provide healing macro and micronutrients while remaining easy to digest. Tomatoes are packed with lycopene, an antioxidant known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Bell peppers offer high levels of vitamins A and C, which help regulate the immune system. Garlic and onions not only add depth of flavor but also support the gut with natural prebiotic compounds.

Eggs, the main protein source in shakshuka, deliver essential amino acids, B vitamins, and choline to support brain health, cell repair, and energy production. Olive oil offers healthy monounsaturated fats that reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular and digestive health.

This shakshuka is more than just a comforting meal. It’s part of a dietary approach designed to restore gut health, support immune function, and help regulate inflammation throughout the body. By choosing anti-inflammatory meals like this, you actively promote a balanced gut microbiome, which plays a central role in long-term health and disease prevention.

Enjoy this Regular Shakshuka for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, knowing that each bite contributes to gut healing and full-body well-being. Members experiencing IBD should also visit the platform’s Expert Advice section for tailored support and deeper guidance on managing and putting chronic inflammatory conditions into remission through lifestyle and nutrition.

Ingredients

  • 1 2/3 cup or 400g of chopped tomatoes (1 can)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 chopped fresh or frozen onion
  • 1 tbsp of garlic purée (or 2 crushed garlic cloves)
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • 1 tsp of ground cumin
  • 1 tsp of turmeric
  • 1 tsp of sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp of ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp of fresh coriander to decorate
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil

Directions

  1. Fry the onions and garlic with the olive oil in a pan on medium heat for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and a good amount of moisture has come out of them.

  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, spices, and salt.

  3. Cook on medium heat for a further 5 minutes.

  4. Crack the eggs in, and cover, leaving an opening for the excess water to evaporate. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  5. Decorate with the chopped herbs.

  6. Serve and enjoy! Ps: you can use chives or parsley instead of coriander. Dried chives work great too if you don’t have fresh herbs.
