   I noticed quite a few of your reciepes are Paleo-Friendly, Gluten-Free type items. Is one of your family members restricted on that? Never heard of Paleo but, all the gluten-free items has been popping up lately. Is it like the carb-free diets?

   I am starting gluten-free today. Had an EGD today to see if it’s Celiacs vs gluten-sensitivity. Deliciously g-free is a great cookbook.

  Amy, I recently had the celiac panel done but mine came up negative. I had been having alot of tummy troubles, and as a vegetarian, it seemed like everything I’d eat set me off!
  Finally, my Gastro Dr. suggested I try Align. OMG! I’m like a new person! Who would have thought this tiny pill could make such a dramatic difference ?
  Then I started reading onlinements about Align-like on Amazon.
  There are ALOT of folks just like me-this is one magic pill to end tummy woes 🙂

  Lisa, according to myfitnesspal.online the recipe has 311 calories for an 1/8th of a loaf, including the 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds I sprinkled on top before I baked it. Specifically: 19g fat, 29g carbs, & 9g protein. Hope that helps!

    Whats the deal on Agave? I’ve been reading up on it, and while many say its a good alternative, I’ve found just as many stating that it is no better than HFCS! Even though it might not spike the blood sugar (esp to diabetics), it is processed through the liver and b/c there is nowhere to store it, it gets converted to fat. Quote from Livestrong –

    Agave nectar may not be a suitable sugar alternative for diabetics. It may worsen symptoms or cause associated conditions such as heart disease and high triglycerides. In fact, agave nectar may be worse than table sugar because of these possible outonlinees — it may be more on par with high-fructose corn syrup. Small amounts of this nectar may be fine, but persistent use could cause the health concerns you are trying to avoid by using this sugar alternative.

    While the jury is still out on agave nectar, evidence suggests that it is not a health food.

    IDK.. think I’ll stick to plain ole white sugar!

  I know what you mean about agave. I haven’t had white sugar in years though, I’m a big fan of honey. I just prefer honey over any other source of sugar, myself. I have it in my latte right now even 🙂

  I have a family member with candida albicans, so no sugar for her, and she uses xylitol for her sweetness (careful though, toxic to pets).

  Look into Olive leaf extract for your family members candida. I have been doing alot of reading on several natural products, I think that’s the one that offered relief.

    Is There a different flour you can use instead of coconut? Rice, sorghum or the like? I don’t have coconut flour, so I was wondering for a sub. Thanks! Looks awesome!

  I always use almond flour, or flaxseed flour, or brown rice flour depending on the texture I want. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I think I’ll sub plain pumpkin for the almond butter, since I don’t have any at home and it is pricey.

  I have to eat gluten free, but I stay on as much of a “normal” diet as possible. I use all purpose gf flour, and use all my recipes I used before finding out I had celiac disease. I have seen coconut flour at Whole Foods, in the baking section. I don’t know if it’s expensive because it’s just an expensive product, or if it’s pricey because it was at Whole Foods – either way, it’s out of my budget!!!

  At my WholeFoods .. they have coc. flour in the bulk section so I can buy just enough for what I am making so I don’t have to spend a lot for a whole bag. Just a thought if you wanted to try it.

    Ok Collin– Who’s putting you up to this? I mean I am not a dieter by any means, but you have me thinkin’ of whipping up this amazing looking recipe! Perhaps you’d like to have us all over for a “cup of coffee or tea” and a piece of this yum. j/k!! But really I’m having a hard time not drooling all over the place. You’re on a roll… keep it going… and you’ll definitely have us all workin’ it with the flour and apron in the kitchen. 🙂

    Can you use regular flour instead of coconut flour? Where can you buy coconut flour–I don’t see it at my local grocery stores. Also, can you substitute peanut butter for the almond butter? I’m currently out and don’t buy it often because it’s too pricey. Also, I don’t have coconut oil (because it’s too pricey), can I use olive oil instead? Thanks!

  Krista August 24, 2012 at 8:57 am MST

  To make your own baking powder that is corn free mix 1 tsp of baking soda with 2 tsp of cream of tartar. Use immediately. Adding in 1 tsp of cornstarch will keep it from clumping but this is optional.

  Mae :o) August 24, 2012 at 7:04 pm MST

  Here is a similar idea:

  To make corn-free baking powder, blend together 1/3 cup baking soda, 2/3 cup cream of tartar + 2/3 cup arrowroot starch.

    I’m curious… I know Collin is big on the coconut oil, but I am NOT a fan of anything coconut – not even the smell in suntan lotion. lol
    My question is… do you taste the coconut when you use the oil and/or the flour in this recipe and other recipes? Because I don’t even like a hint of it, but I would love to try it.
    Thanks in advance!

  When the coconut oil is in a recipe with other things. like cinnamon, it is not noticed. If you make scrambled eggs, it is.

    Okay… somehow I knew I’d find myself back over to this post! Got coconut flakes at home ?? Well Lisa B (link below) illustrates how to use your VitaMix to grind coconut flakes into *coconut flour*, dirt cheap, with easy step by step instructions and photos. I can’t wait to give the coconut bags I’ve got sitting in my cabinets a whirl, but couldn’t wait to share this with my fellow hip friends!!

  BTW you can also grind coconut flakes with your food processor (I used my mini attachment) or coffee grinder (those little electric kind), not sure how the results would onlinepare side-by-side, but mine came out great using the various options.

    Finally got to try this recipe and just wanted to share my experience. I made muffins instead. I baked them for over 40 mins. and they still came out really soggy on the bottom. They taste fine, but totally fell apart. Not sure what I did wrong. I followed the recipe, except I didn’t do a loaf.

    Hm. I saw a lot of positive onlinements about how good the bread looked…but has anyone actually made it?
    I just finished my loaf, and it is sunk in the middle as well as really moist on the bottom-like, fall apart moist. And this is after having to double the baking time because after the specified time, the dough was not even close to being cooked through.
    That being said, the flavor of the bread is perfect. Perfect amount of sweetness.
    I followed the instructions exactly, and I am not a novice baker. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

    Thanks for the great recipe! I modified it slightly, which made it a little less moist, but I still added 15 min. to the baking time, and it was perfect. Because my husband has to watch his oxalate intake I only used 1 banana, and I substituted Sunbutter for the almond butter. We like things a little less sweet, so I only used 1/4 c. agave syrup. Anyway thanks for the wonderful recipe! I will make many more times with zucchini from my garden.

I see alot of people onlineplaining that their bread is just not setting, perhaps you could include squeezing out the shredded zucchini in the recipe? Thanks so much for the recipe though!

    I love this recipe!!! Tweaked it a bit, since I was down to one banana, I substituted with most of a very ripe avocado I had left over. I also cut a little of the honey out and put about 3/4 of a cup of coconut flour and a 1/4 cup of almond meal in, to avoid the “over-moist” situation that some had encountered. I did press out the liquid of the zucchini and finally I divided into two loaf pans to get two smaller loafs instead.
    Thank you for the GREAT inspiration!!!

    It was delicious. The only change I did was to use half honey and half agave. I don’t like coconut, so I was concerned about the coconut taste – which was none. I accidentally turned off the oven and then turned it back on. It still came our perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
