Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Agave Nectar

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.

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?
