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.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      @ABP2025, Here's some studies and articles that will help you learn more about thiamin and all... I will write more later. It's possible that your antibiotic for giardiasis has caused thiamine deficiency.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-thiamine-deficiency-wernickes-encephalopathy/ And... https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-testing-understanding-labs/ And... Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/ and...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      Interesting you mention MCAS. I have come across mcas before but I wasn’t entirely sure if that’s what it was. When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both.    I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      By Gill.brittany8 · Posted

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ
