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.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
