You are most welcome and thank you kindly – I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the banana bread! The addition of walnuts and chocolate sound heavenly. Haven’t made this in while — and now with those two additions you made I’ve developed a hankering :)

Absolutely go ahead and sub with flax. You are right — the correct ratio is 1 T flax seed meal or chia + 3 T hot water. Let stand for 10 minutes or so. And there you have it.

Have a great day,
Stephanie

I would just use another kind of mild tasting oil, such as grapeseed oil. I am not a huge fan of canola but that could also work. In a crazy twist of fate, we can’t eat coconut anymore either so I’ve been substituting grapeseed oil with fantastic results.

Have a great rest of the week

All the best for a great week

Thank so much for stopping back by. I appreciate your report on the swap out. I have had my hands full over here with relatives visiting, 2 children starting 2 different schools and a baby that is working on about 7 teeth at once. Seriously, I am embarrassed to admit I haven’t even had one second to give this a try. You won’t hold that against me, will you?

Interestingly, one of my visitors was a Cordon Bleu chef. And, let me tell you, I was picking her brain about all sorts of things. I was making acorn squash soup on Sunday and had this entire crop of zucchini that needed to make its way into bread. But, soup and a (sweet) tea bread was not sounding too appealing to me. So, we collaborated on this savory loaf and it came out beautifully. I know it’s not the recipe you were asking about. So sorry about that. But, I bring it up because if you are in the mood to try something a little bit different as soup “season” approaches, then this loaf is a winner. I need to test it again before I post but please do check back.

Thanks for bearing with me

I went ahead and made the zucchini bread and just did equal exchanges of banana to zucchini and it came out just fine for me–I did add a little more agave to it (since the bananas are so sweet) and it seemed to make it more moist but it might have been a little too sweet. Still tasty nonetheless :) I’d love to hear what you come up with though!

Thanks so much for joining in and responding to No Gluten Please. I used to fiddle with Bob’s Red Mill AP Flour mix quite a bit. I was always happy with the way things came out too.

It is so funny that you are interested in making zucchini bread. That has been on my to do list for a a week or two. With 3 kids at home I keep saying – I AM going to get to that today. And I don’t. Could we extend the day to 48 hours please ?? There is just never enough time ! Anyway, I have a hunch of how to do it. Let me fiddle with this for a day or 2 and I’ll re-post here. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much Kristen for stopping by and leaving a message. I really appreciate it. Have a great day :)

ps- so sorry for the delay in responding. As I was telling Laura, my site was infected with a nasty virus. I simply could not fix it and was locked out of the site for over a week. All better now ! Be in touch :)

Two things:

1. For No Gluten Please–I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour and my bread came out very moist! You may want to check it out :)

2. Stephanie–I’d like to make zucchini bread in the same way but I’m not sure about the conversion of banana to zucchini (since zucchini seems to have a higher water content than bananas). Have you tried this? If not, what would you recommend as far as how much zucchini to use?

Thanks so much!

Sorry to hear that it came out dry for you. Did you strictly use brown rice flour (without a starch)?

One suggestion I continue to make is to gently fluff the flour in it’s container (with a whisk or fork) and then spoon it into the 2 cup measure. Otherwise, the flour is compacted and you end up using much more flour than intended. This would be true for any gluten free flour/starch. Before I began measuring this way, my baking results failed to be consistent. Give it a shot and see what you think!

Best regards
Stephanie

You are so welcome – I am thrilled to hear that you liked the banana bread! Hubby’s can be hard to win over sometimes so that’s wonderful that he liked it too.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know how it turned out – knowing you enjoyed it put such a smile on my face :)

Have a great weekend!
Stephanie
