Zucchini Bread Recipe - Wow!

This is the type of bread that comes out of the oven and you eat 6 pieces because you just can't believe how good it is (speaking from personal experience ;) ). The top is flakey and very thin and the inside is very moist. I got this recipe from "Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating" by Jules E. D. Shepard and modified the flours and added applesauce for part of the oil to cut down on the fat. I can't wait to try more recipes from this book!

Zucchini Bread

view picture

3 eggs

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups cornstarch

3/4 cup rice flour

3/4 cup tapioca flour

1 tablespoon xanthan gum

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups fresh zucchini, grated

1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

24 servings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the eggs until foamy, adding sugar, oil, and applesauce (use wire whip attachment for mixer). In a separate bowl, mix the dry in ingredients and then add them to the egg mixture (switch to the flat beater or dough hook attachment) and beat in electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until batter is mixed well and becomes very thick. Add nuts.

If baking as a loaf, grease two large loaf pans and fill each 1/2 full (I used a nonstick and a glass loaf pan and I think I like the nonstick results slightly better). Bake for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, testing to be sure the middle is cooked through. If your oven cooks the tops of these loaves too quickly, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning (after about 25-35 minutes). If you want to use this as a breakfast bread, you can sprinkle the tops with Confectioner's sugar.

If baking as muffins, grease and 1/2 fill 24 muffin tins. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, testing to be sure the middle is cooked through.

I cooked mine for the full 1 hour 10 minutes and it smelled kind of like it was burning, so I was worried, but it came out perfect. I posted the recipe on recipezaar, so I'll find out the nutritional content soon. I'm hoping it's at least decent. :)

One of my husband's co-workers gave him 2 zucchinis and I was just going to substitute the flour with Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose. BUT, I found this recipe and it is true!!! This bread is awesome!!! Better than gluten version, IMHO. My husband loves it and so do I. I am limiting myself to no more than one piece a day. It does not have the gritty taste that my baking does when using BRM. Thanks for this recipe!!!!

Sounds delicious! It reminded me of when I used to make zucchini bread with those zucchinis that get to big and you don't know what to do with them. And also the zucchini brownies I used to make. I need to get out that old recipe and convert it to gluten free, it should be easy. Thanks!

This recipe was yummy. Instead of 2 loaves, I made one loaf, 6 muffins, and 24 mini muffins. It is more bread like (rather than cake-like) than I've made before, but it was very tasty. Thanks!

I just noticed that this recipe for zucchini bread has no salt added to it. Has anyone made this and found the taste to be somewhat flat due to the lack of salt? Just curious. Otherwise the recipe sounds really good.

I noticed that, too.... but I can tell you this bread was wonderful- as is. I don't know that I would change anything my second time around. I really loved it.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your situation involves interpreting elevated Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgG levels, which can indeed be confusing without clear symptoms or additional diagnostic tools like a biopsy. Here’s a possible approach to help clarify your next steps: Understanding DGP IgG: DGP IgG is a blood test often used to help diagnose celiac disease, particularly in individuals with IgA deficiency. However, since you’ve confirmed you don’t have IgA deficiency, the focus should shift to other celiac-specific tests, such as tissue transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and endomysial antibodies (EMA-IgA), which are more specific for celiac disease. Elevated DGP IgG alone is not diagnostic of celiac disease but may indicate gluten-related immune activity. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS): You’re correct that NCGS does not typically show abnormalities in blood tests like celiac disease does. NCGS is diagnosed based on symptoms (e.g., bloating, fatigue, brain fog) that improve on a gluten-free diet, after celiac disease and wheat allergy have been ruled out. Since you don’t currently have symptoms, NCGS seems less likely in your case. Possible Next Steps: Monitor Symptoms: If you remain asymptomatic, it’s reasonable to continue eating gluten and retest after some time. This is because celiac disease can develop or become symptomatic later, and ongoing gluten consumption is necessary for accurate testing. Repeat Testing: Consider repeating the tTG-IgA test, as it is the most sensitive and specific for celiac disease. If this is also elevated, it strengthens the case for further investigation. Genetic Testing: If available, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genetic testing can help rule out celiac disease if negative, as nearly all celiac patients carry one or both of these genes. However, a positive result doesn’t confirm celiac disease, as these genes are common in the general population. Dietary Trial: If testing remains inconclusive and you develop symptoms, a supervised gluten-free diet trial might provide clarity. However, this should only be done after thorough testing, as going gluten-free prematurely can interfere with accurate diagnosis. Biopsy Limitation: Since a biopsy is not available in your town, you’ll need to rely on blood tests and clinical judgment. If your tests remain inconclusive but you develop symptoms, you may need to travel to a facility that can perform a biopsy for definitive diagnosis. In summary, if I were in your position, I would continue consuming gluten, monitor for symptoms, and retest with more specific celiac markers (tTG-IgA and EMA-IgA) in a few months. If symptoms develop or tests remain ambiguous, consulting a gastroenterologist for further guidance would be advisable. Always work with a healthcare provider to interpret results and tailor next steps to your specific situation.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      The fact is, we know very little about the mechanism of NCGS at this point. We know much more about celiac disease. Some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. And I do not agree with what you read about NCGS not producing any elevated antibody tests. IMO, and I have no scientific data to support this, it's just a hunch base on reading many, many forum contributor test result reports, elevated igg antibodies may signal a transition from NCGS to celiac disease.  But there are other things besides gluten that can cause elevated dgp igg and ttg igg antibody levels. So, yes. I would continue to monitor the situation if I were you and get regular testing. Not necessarily every 6 months but yearly anyway if you can. In the meantime, if you know gluten causes you unwellness, continue to avoid it.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Statins are a widely prescribed class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes. Extensive scientific research, including large-scale randomized controlled trials, has demonstrated their efficacy and safety for most individuals. Statins work by inhibiting an enzyme involved in cholesterol production in the liver, thereby reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Importantly, statins do not "remove all fats" from the body, as suggested in your post. They specifically target cholesterol synthesis and do not deplete essential fats, such as those required for brain function, hormone production, or nutrient absorption. The body still maintains its necessary fat reserves, including healthy fats, which are critical for physiological processes. Regarding the claim that statins cause internal bleeding by making blood vessels permeable, this is not supported by scientific evidence. Statins are not known to increase the risk of internal bleeding. However, like all medications, they can have side effects, such as muscle pain or, in rare cases, liver enzyme abnormalities. The benefits of statins in reducing cardiovascular risk generally outweigh the risks for most patients, particularly those with a history of heart disease or high cholesterol. The suggestion to use odorless garlic, magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium for heart health may have some merit, as these supplements can support cardiovascular function in certain contexts. For example, magnesium is involved in muscle and nerve function, while vitamin K plays a role in blood clotting and bone health. However, these should not replace evidence-based treatments like statins when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Always consult a medical professional before making changes to medication or starting new supplements, as individual health needs vary.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Just judging from the reports we get from forum members sharing their endoscopy results, very common. But we also get a lot of reports of inflammation in those areas coupled with a negative biopsy for celiac. But I wonder if in a lot of those latter cases we are seeing NCGS or a transition from NCGS to celiac. I have no scientific data to support that. It's just a hunch.
