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!

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

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
