Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Agave Nectar

Recommended Posts

elevenkids2many Newbie

I am really looking for a yummy chocolate cake or bread recipe using zucchini and agave nectar. The book I have has a banana bread recipe but the kids want to make zucchini.

To introduce myself I am the loving mom of 11 children and grandma to 11 grandchildren. I need to eat gluten free, egg free, dairy free, soy free, walnut and peanut free and nightshade free (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers).

We live in Southern Utah on 20 acres and raise dairy goats, miniature horses and toy poodles, can you tell I love animals. Our children range from age 33 to 7 years of age, and yes they all came from one union me and my husband. I know crazy but I love them all. I might not like them all but I love them all.

I am so tired of collecting cook books and only finding one recipe that I use in them. I think I am going to sell my collection on ebay soon. LOL Kila

Hi, Do you just happen to have the cook book "Cooking Free" by Carol Fenster?? Its a great book for some of those allergies you mentioned. She has a zucchini bread recipe that you should be able to adjust.

Use honey or agave for the sugar, her tip is at the bottom of the page. Use egg replacer or flax gel, omit the nuts, add some cocoa...then taste test the batter. I think it would work. I like to make 1/2 a recipe if I am unsure. :rolleyes:

I interchange my banana bread recipe with zucchini all the time. Sub the banana straight across for zucchini. My recipe wouldn't meet your dietary restrictions, but I would try your recipe with the zucchini instead. I would shred the zucchini, place in tea towel and try to squeeze a bunch of the moisture out before adding to the batter though.

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not alone in this—we’ve all had those ‘why me?’ moments. Sending hugs (and solidarity) your way.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
