Suggestions For A Pumpkin Bread Mix?

I'm not really a baker so I love anything that I can make that comes from a box! Last year I used the pumpkin bread mix from Trader Joe's which was a HUGE hit, but that was before I was diagnosed and actually could eat it. I'd like to make another pumpkin bread this year, but I've yet to see a gluten free bread mix. Does anyone have any suggestions for one, or where I can one (either in a real store or online?)

Thanks!

While it's not a pumpkin bread mix, Pamela's Products has a recipe for pumpkin bread on their website. It starts with Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix, which makes it pretty simple to make. Sounds yummy to me. I've printed it out but haven't tried it yet but I can vouch for the banana bread, which I've made several times. Open Original Shared Link

I bought this stuff a few years ago.

I bought both the pumpkin and cranberry. While both tasted very good, at the time I bought them there was some sort of flaw in the mix. They e-mailed me modified instructions. I can't remember the particulars now but I had to make them into bars and not loaves. I haven't tried them since.

I found the easiest pumpkin bread/muffin recipe this week! I will add the link. It uses the yellow betty crocker gluten free cake mix (which makes this so easy) and a few other ingredients and my family loves them! The are really good. I had lost my old gluten-free pumpkin muffin recipe, and was looking online this week, and tried this one...and now I don't care if I don't ever find my old pumpkin muffin recipe! This one is so great!

Try it~ I hope you love it as much as we do! Super Easy and taste great!

This recipe for Pumpkin Bread is *seriously* AMAZING!!! I make it all the time and eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I use Libby's canned pumpkin (gluten free right on the label) and it turns out amazing everytime...people ask me to bring it to family gatherings because it's so good!!

I use Crisco all vegetable shortening rather than butter (dairy issues) and it still turns out great. I'd definitely give it a try :)

Wonderful to hear this! I just *seriously* found my recipe and got out my can of pumpkin so will make it today. And I'm *seriously* eating some of her banana bread right now. YUM!

The verdict is in! The pumpkin bread using Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix is delish!!! Next time I'm going to double the recipe and make two loaves. I think I'll also skip the Crumble Nut Topping as it...well, crumbles all over the place. That does not mean it goes to waste! tongue.gif I decided to try the recipe as written this time as I had all the ingredients for the topping, too.

This product is really good and so versatile and I'm not even much of a mix-type person. I pay $6.29 for a 24 oz. bag at Giant and figured it was worth my doing the subscribe-and-save to get 6 bags for $25.89 on you-know-where.

Here's my pumpkin bread recipe:

1 stick butter softened

2 eggs

2/3 c. sugar

3/4 c. canned pumpkin

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp. yogurt

2 c. rice flour (or a 50/50 mix of buckwheat and rice flours)

1-2 tsp. pumpkin pie spices (to taste)

Cream sugar and butter, then beat in eggs. Stir in pumpkin and yogurt, then add dry ingredients. Pour into well greased 5x9 loaf.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 min. or 300 degrees for 1.5 hours (it browns a bit less if you bake it lower and slower). Remove from pan and cool on wire rack until completely cool (if you can wait that long).

Note: this is the same as my banana bread recipe. Substitute the banana for the pumpkin and use cinnamon and/or nutmeg in place of the pumpkin pie spices.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
