Quick Bread Question

I have several quick bread recipes....would I just be able to substitute the flours? I mean, quick breads don't really rely on gluten do they?

1 is a banana bread

1 is a cinnamon quick bread

I know they'll be denser, and probably drier...but would I be able just to use, say a mixture of white rice & brown rice flour (I want to stay away from beany type flours).

THANKS!

I use the all the same recipes I used before my daughter was gluten free. I just substitute Gluten Free Pantry flour mix (I'm sure any brand is ok) cup for cup for the wheat flour. I've never had any problems with doing that. I have a fabulous recipe for banana bread that we make all the time and I actually find that, yes, it's a bit denser than before but much more moist.

KB,

I'm certainly no expert on gluten-free baking, but I've made two kinds of muffins in the last week, and both came out good. I just go to Allrecipes.com ( the thing I like about them, is the recipe allows you to change the number of muffins, or whatever your making, and it automatically adjusts all the ingredient volumes for you). For instance, if a recipe says it makes 24 muffins, I change it to 12. If it says 6, change to 12, and so on. That way, they're all equal.

I look at about a dozen of the most popular recipes for say Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins (which I made last night), and also read a lot of the comments. Then I compile a list of ingredients and an "average" of each one. I figure that by examining "trends" in recipes, I've got the best chance of getting a good recipe, and the least chance of getting a bad recipe.

For instance, some people complained about the use of oil in the O-B muffins, saying they were too oily. Some complained about the use of butter, saying they were too cakey. So I used half oil & half butter!

Then I just substituted our flour and 1 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum. I'm very happy so far, as far as muffins go.

best regards, lm

I use a banana bread recipe I found on this site back in May. It's delicious and even better toasted (but you have to be really careful putting it in and taking it out of the toaster so as not to break it). I keep meaning to try it as a muffin. Anyway, here is the link:

I have made banana bread simply by replacing the wheat flour with rice flour and it has turned out great. Now I sometimes add some corn starch to the rice flour, but you don't need to.

I have this GREAT recipe for a cinnamon swirl breakfast bread and it's so good! I'd love to make it, I guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and make a loaf - maybe I'll half it and make muffins instead and if THEY work, try the bread. I just don't want to waste the flours b/c they cost so darned much!

:)

You can buy really inexpensive rice flours and tapioca starches at asian markets or in the asian section of your grocery store.

Cinnamon quick bread turned out AWESOME. My husband (who does not have Celiac at all) said "The h-e-double hockey sticks with wheat!". He loved it. High praise. So yummy half the loaf is gone already!

Okay, going to put the recipe on my blog....click thru my signature! :D

It's almost gone! I'm saving the last piece for hubby when he gets home from work! My kids chowed thru it this morning at snack time. HECK when even KIDS don't notice it's gluten free, it HAS to be good! LOL :D

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
