Harvest Loaf Recipe

My mom used to make this bread when I was growing up, and I finally decided to be brave and try to make it gluten-free. It's pretty simple, so it was easy to convert. Anyway, I made it this weekend, and everyone LOVED it! So, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!!

Harvest Loaf

1 1/2 C gluten-free flour (I use Carol Fenster's blend)

1/2 t salt

1/2 t nutmeg

1/2 t ginger

1 t xanthan gum

1 t baking soda

1 t cinnamon

1/4 t cloves (I omitted these cause I only had whole cloves and didn't feel like grinding them... I didn't notice any difference)

1/2 C butter (room temp)

1 C sugar

2 eggs

3/4 C pumpkin

1 1/2 C semi sweet choco chips

3/4 C chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a regular 9X5 loaf pan.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, except the sugar, nuts and choco chips.

In a larger bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Blend in the eggs. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the pumpkin; starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the nuts and choco chips.

Bake for 60-65 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack. Top with glaze, if you want.

Glaze: 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/4 t nutmeg

1/4 t cinnamon

add about 2 T cream or milk (just enough to dissove the ingredients and make a liquid)

Pour over the top.

A few notes: Since I don't use eggs, I added the egg replacer when I started adding the dry ingredients to the butter. I found that I needed to add a couple extra T of water, maybe 2-3.

I also didn't use the glaze (long story!) so, it is optional and will taste good either way.

I've never thought of putting pumpkin and chocolate together, but that looks really good. I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing! :)

Yep. And 3/4 c should be less than the can... so, you might have some left over, but you won't have to buy more to make it.

Let me know how it turns out! I was kind of worried about posting it, since I had only made it once gluten-free. But it turned out soooo good, I just had to share!

Hi Julie!

I have a suggestion for your canned pumpkin. I eat that stuff for breakfast in the mornings, I put chopped walnuts and cinamon in it and you can add some honey also. very good and filling, I enjoy my pumpkin lol.

And that bread sounds so good, I make pumpkin corn muffins sometimes and put honey and butter or almond butter on it, so tasty!

I have a suggestion for the leftover pumpkin, too. I make pumpkin "frosting" for my kids. Mix about 1/3-1/2 cup of pureed pumpkin with a small tub of mascarpone cheese, 2-4 Tablespoons sugar (depending on your tastebuds) and a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Whip that all up together and use with abandon! We put it on toast, pancakes, bread (even pumpkin bread), carrot cake (instead of the traditional cream cheese frosting, but not always - cream cheese frosting is just soooo good), etc.

OMG Liz--I finally made the bread today. It is absolutely delicious--my husband said it's about the best quick bread he's ever had!

I used a mixture of sweet rice flour and potato starch, and substituted chopped walnuts for the pecans, since those were what I had on hand--I also used the cloves :D The mixture of spices is perfect.

Thank you so much for sharing your mom's recipe!

YAY!!!! I'm so glad it turned out for you. That stuff is fantastic!!! It didn't last any time in our house.

What ratio did you use of flour/starch? I've gotten so reliant on Fenster's blend that I'm worried I'll never branch out... :lol:

I don't tend to use the blends because of the tapioca. I used a cup of sweet rice flour, and 1/2 cup potato starch. If it had called for any more, I would have added a half cup of cornstarch.

It's not going to last long here, either :P I can't believe how moist it was.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
