Pumpkin Bread

I converted my old pumpkin bread recipe to be gluten free and it turned out nonstopeatinggood. :P It makes alot but you could cut it in half. Here is the recipe:

Gluten free Pumpkin Bread

4 eggs

1 3/4 cups sugar

1 15oz. can Libby's pure pumpkin

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup oil

4 cups gluten-free flour mix (I couldn't decide so I used 1/2 featherlite and 1/2 Carol's sorghum mix)

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. ground flax, opt.

2 tsp. xanthan gum

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

1 tsp. each: cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg

1 cup water or milk (I use water)

about 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

In a very large mixing bowl, beat eggs (I use a hand mixer). Beat in sugar, pumpkin, applesauce and oil.

Whisk together all the dry ingredients and beat in 1/2 at a time. ( I just dump it in after measuring and beat in 1/2 the flour last)

Slowly beat in water until mixed and there are no flour lumps. You can add chips now or later.

Pour batter into 6 greased and floured small loaf pans (5 3/4"x3"x2 1/2 ").

Gently stir in without scraping the edges, 1/4 cup chocolate chips into some of the pans(incase your peeps can't have/don't like chocolate like my peeps <_< )

Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. (I use a convection oven) My breads rose great and were light and fluffy and sooo tastey.

Cut a loaf in 1/2 and take a big muffin to work. :D

You can make muffins, just reduce the baking time and you only need to spray the pans. Or bake in cake pans too. I would advise only trying a big bread pan with one loaf b/c the batter is heavy and the bread may not get done in the middle...someone can let us know...

Wow! This recipe makes 6 small loafs? Do you know if it freezes well?

I have never frozen the gluten-free version but the gluten kind froze well. I would double wrap it. The smaller loaves are also nice for giving away ;) The first batch you will eat quickly :lol:

Pumpkin muffins sounded yummy...I asked my dd if she wanted them again...so I made these yesterday with just the sorghum flour blend and they turned out great...today they were still like fresh made. The batch makes a ton (prob 24, I make 3 sizes), you either have to freeze them or share with a friend :)

Purple, I am really missing Pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. Would this recipe work for that by just putting in a jelly roll pan or would you change something first?

I don't know how much this will help. I used to use a gluten carrot cake mix plus the oil, eggs, pumpkin, pie spice and an additional 1/3 cup sugar. They were great, cake like of course, plenty sweet like a cake. Baked in a 15x10" pan but I baked it in an 11x17". The frosting was a can of vanilla ready to spread with 3 oz. of cream cheese beat in.

If you use the bread recipe it will be less sweet and not as flakey as a cake (less sugar is always ok ;) ). If you think it needs a bit more sugar or applesauce try 1/4 cup. But I think it would work great. I wouldn't fill the pan too full b/c I read gluten-free baking should be done in smaller pans. You would have to judge if you would need to add another pan. If I were to try it I would use 1 or 2 muffin pans for extra batter just in case. I had a muffin for breakfast today, the third day and it was just as good as the day I made them 2 days ago. I freeze the extras and send to my dd or give some to a neighbor.

Let us know what happens b/c I have been looking at the pumpkin bar recipe too in a fall baking book :rolleyes:

good to know!

So, would this be enough batter for 2 full bread loaves or just one? Also, would you recommend using canned pumpkin pie filling and adapting the sugar/spices? Cuz that's apparently what I bought and didn't use last fall. <_<

I haven't made the gluten-free version in a full sized loaf pan yet...b/c I read the gluten-free baking should be in smaller pans so the middle will get done. If you take a chance let us know ;) The gluten version recipe says 2-3 large pans so I would use 3 or 1 large and 3 small. Try 3 to be safe so its not so thick.

I just use plain canned pumpkin (Libby's).

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
    • growlinhard1
      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.

      My mom said when he was born "you got what you gave".  Until 5 years of he was gluten free, was well liked by his friends, although did get them into mischief at times, a leader of his group of friends, physically active and paid attention, as much as any preschooler.      At 5 years old we moved to my hometown and had to rely on our friends, my pediatrition (still the best doctor I ever had), my wife was a nurse so her aquaintences and doctor friends.  They all still believed back in 1980's that Celiac was a growing phase, and he wanted to be like everyone else.  So everyone's opinion was that if he tolerates gluten with no symptoms he had outgrown it.  He passed the summer at the beach (lots of vitamin D) was a prodegy swimmer and the whole team liked him and he fit in well.     Fall came, he started kindergarden school, less sun ( low vitamin D, Seasonal Affective Disorder is real), new people and a morning schedule that did not end up in a fun, active day at the beach.  Getting him going got more difficult.  By the first teacher-parent meeting in December, they brought up the subject.  He was disruptive in class.  By then we had forgotten what his doctor said 5 years earlier.  So he was diagnosed as ADHD.      Competitive swimming was his saving grace.  All though High School he continued to swim with his competetive team most days after or before school and with the beach club team in addition in the summer.  Some records he set lasted years.  After high school he became a professional ocean guard. Now getting close to retirement.  But always had difficulty concentrating on schoolwork.      He, and his wife, incidentally, is now having the health problems that I just have just gotten rid of.  I had forgotten what the doctor said to us 60 years earlier, bout Celiac Disease being hereditory.  He is starting to listen, but still in denial.  Loves his pizza.  At 63 I had arthritis, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, enlarged prostate, alcoholism and I got dumber as the years passed.  They all are gone with gluten free and vitamin replenishment. My wife had allergies, endometriosis, fertility problems and miscarriages.  She passed 18 years ago. Sorry for the long story.  Reminds me of a Joni Mitchell song.  "L've looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose, but still somehow, it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life, at all"

      I feel for you. I've had an interesting history with some vaccine, especially t-DAP. One time after just getting it, I remember walking from the pharmacy to my car, reaching for the door handle of my car as my last memory, then waking up slumped into my car with the door wide open hours later. Nobody even knew I was there. I did get a bad cut from rotting rusty wood and probably animal droppings, and it had been 10 years, so I got a booster recently, but took someone with me. My doc back then did say he was concerned about my reactions to vaccines, but we never talked about what alternatives there might be. What is your risk when you do get sick? For me, I almost always end up needing prednisone and antibiotics and have to crawl back to life for months after those are done, prednisone really messes me up, raises my blood pressure to stroke levels, and the antibiotics mess up my intestines really bad. I have to take mega doses of C and D and B's, especially flush niacin, and probiotics.  So preventing flu is critical for me since I always get a long term negative effect from the treatment. I did a lot of research, traditional and alternative medicine, and they all say high vitamin D levels are crucial to so many kinds of illnesses, including flu, cancer, etc.  People with high D during covid had much better outcomes.  I always tested low in D even with high oral supplementation of D3 and K2.  So last year I saved up and bought a real vitamin D lamp, not one of those cheapie ones that you can get on Amazon that don't work, seriously, those are junk. Wow what a difference with a real D Lamp. We haven't been sick all year, which is rare for me, even after being around several sick people or people that came down sick just after visiting. I use the lamp about every other day or if I've been in a group of people or around anyone sick.  I have not yet had my D levels retested since starting with it (will do that at annual check up later this year), but I have not gotten a cold or flu (knock on wood), feel better than usual for a cold wet winter in the NorthWest, and my hair is growing in like crazy, all signs of improved vitamin D levels. It doesn't take long to use, just a few seconds and first and gradually build up. I now do it for a count of 200, which is about 3 minutes. I don't remember all the details on how the body creates its own vitamin D, but I do remember that the body makes a reaction on the skin and you don't want to wash that off for a few hours.  So I do the D Lamp right after my shower, not before.  There are 2 reputable ones that I found in my research: Sperti Vitamin D Lamp uses florescent tubes, you stand and turn in front of it, be sure to get the VITAMIN D LAMP, not the tanning lamp:  https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/ Chroma Vitamin D Lamp is LED's, you can stand and turn in front of it or hold it in your hand and wave it over your body, always keeping it moving so you don't burn:  https://getchroma.co/products/d-light-vitamin-d-light-device-uvb-red-nir AND YOU MUST WEAR SPECIFIC EYE PROTECTION WHEN USING, KEEP ALL PETS AND OTHERS AWAY, THE GLASSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE D LAMP. I got the Chroma D Lamp when they had a huge sale last year, it's a small start-up company in Seattle.  Sperti is a larger longer term well known, and you can sign up for a 10% discount on their web site.  If Chroma had not had the sale when I was going to buy one, the Sperti would have been fine. They both often have back orders on them, but they do deliver as promised. I have read various articles on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine for example, not always highly effective every year.  Since your risk with vaccines is high, or if your risk of bad illness if you get sick is high, maybe consider how to mitigate both in another way, perhaps a D Lamp.
