Harvest Loaf Recipe

My mom used to make this bread when I was growing up, and I finally decided to be brave and try to make it gluten-free. It's pretty simple, so it was easy to convert. Anyway, I made it this weekend, and everyone LOVED it! So, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!!

Harvest Loaf

1 1/2 C gluten-free flour (I use Carol Fenster's blend)

1/2 t salt

1/2 t nutmeg

1/2 t ginger

1 t xanthan gum

1 t baking soda

1 t cinnamon

1/4 t cloves (I omitted these cause I only had whole cloves and didn't feel like grinding them... I didn't notice any difference)

1/2 C butter (room temp)

1 C sugar

2 eggs

3/4 C pumpkin

1 1/2 C semi sweet choco chips

3/4 C chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a regular 9X5 loaf pan.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, except the sugar, nuts and choco chips.

In a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Blend in the eggs. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the pumpkin; starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the nuts and choco chips.

Bake for 60-65 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack. Top with glaze, if you want.

Glaze: 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/4 t nutmeg

1/4 t cinnamon

add about 2 T cream or milk (just enough to dissove the ingredients and make a liquid)

Pour over the top.

A few notes: Since I don't use eggs, I added the egg replacer when I started adding the dry ingredients to the butter. I found that I needed to add a couple extra T of water, maybe 2-3.

I also didn't use the glaze (long story!) so, it is optional and will taste good either way.

I've never thought of putting pumpkin and chocolate together, but that looks really good. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing! :)

Yep. And 3/4 c should be less than the can... so, you might have some left over, but you won't have to buy more to make it.

Let me know how it turns out! I was kind of worried about posting it, since I had only made it once gluten-free. But it turned out soooo good, I just had to share!

Hi Julie!

I have a suggestion for your canned pumpkin. I eat that stuff for breakfast in the mornings, I put chopped walnuts and cinamon in it and you can add some honey also. very good and filling, I enjoy my pumpkin lol.

And that bread sounds so good, I make pumpkin corn muffins sometimes and put honey and butter or almond butter on it, so tasty!

I have a suggestion for the leftover pumpkin, too. I make pumpkin "frosting" for my kids. Mix about 1/3-1/2 cup of pureed pumpkin with a small tub of mascarpone cheese, 2-4 Tablespoons sugar (depending on your tastebuds) and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Whip that all up together and use with abandon! We put it on toast, pancakes, bread (even pumpkin bread), carrot cake (instead of the traditional cream cheese frosting, but not always - cream cheese frosting is just soooo good), etc.

OMG Liz--I finally made the bread today. It is absolutely delicious--my husband said it's about the best quick bread he's ever had!

I used a mixture of sweet rice flour and potato starch, and substituted chopped walnuts for the pecans, since those were what I had on hand--I also used the cloves :D The mixture of spices is perfect.

Thank you so much for sharing your mom's recipe!

YAY!!!! I'm so glad it turned out for you. That stuff is fantastic!!! It didn't last any time in our house.

What ratio did you use of flour/starch? I've gotten so reliant on Fenster's blend that I'm worried I'll never branch out... :lol:

I don't tend to use the blends because of the tapioca. I used a cup of sweet rice flour, and 1/2 cup potato starch. If it had called for any more, I would have added a half cup of cornstarch.

It's not going to last long here, either :P I can't believe how moist it was.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      The intestinal tract can be as long as twenty-two feet long, so intestinal damage may be out of the reach of endoscopy tools.  Some people have had more success with capsule endoscopy, but this method cannot take biopsies.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jack Common, It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ For clarification, the weight of your slice of bread is not equal to the amount of gluten in it.   Gluten helps form those big holes in breads, so breads like thick chewy pizza crust and artisan breads contain more gluten than cakes and cookies.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Sorry about that link.  It was meant for a different post.   Do consider taking high dose Vitamin D in order to get your level up to around 80 nm/l quickly.   This is the level where Vitamin D can properly work like a hormone and can improve the immune system and lower inflammation.  It makes a big difference.   I took high dose Vitamin D and really improved quickly.  I ate Vitamin D supplements throughout the day like m&ms.  My body craved them.  Very strange, I know, but it worked.   Before you have surgery, you really need to improve your vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins A and D, Vitamin C and Niacin are extremely important to skin health and repair.  Without these, the body does not repair itself neatly.  I've got a scar worthy of a horror movie.  My doctors were clueless about nutritional deficiencies. A sublingual Vitamin B12 supplement will work better for boosting levels.  Tablets or liquid drops in the mouth are easily absorbed directly into the blood stream.   Do bear in mind that about half of Celiac people react to the protein in dairy, Casein, the same as they react to gluten because segments of the protein in Casein resembles segments of the protein Gluten.  Some people lose the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme that digests Lactose, the sugar in dairy, as they age.  Others lose the ability to produce lactase because the intestinal Villi become damaged during the autoimmune response against gluten, and damaged chili can't produce lactase.   Do try Benfotiamine.  It has been shown to improve gastrointestinal health and neuropathy. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks sending me additional links including how to test for thiamine deficiency. With regards to your first link, I wasn't diagnosed with giardiasis and I didn't take antibiotic for it. I try to generally stay away from antibiotic unless absolutely necessary as it might affect gut health. For treating phimosis, the doctor didn't give me antibiotics. I need to have a circumcision surgery which I haven't got around to schedule it.

      I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. I consume dairy but not egg. So I have started including some Vitamin D fortified milk as well as a multivitamin with 2000 IU daily. For Vitamin B12, like you said it's very difficult to get it from just vegetarian sources and have started consuming Vitamin B Complex daily. My PCP was worried when my Vitamin D result came out as It was 3.7 ng/ml last year. He said that being low for a lengthy time could have done some damage to the body over the years. Now, though Vitamin D level has improved after the supplements, I'm not sure if the neurological damage has already been done. I'll continue including the supplements and see if my symptoms improve. I'll also get tested for celiac to see if I need to be in gluten-free diet.
