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

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
