Bread is something that is just never the same when you go gluten free and is even less like the real deal when you remove grains so here’s your disclaimer, that fluffy, light, stretchy bread you get at the bakery, this ain’t it. Don’t get me wrong, this tastes GOOD, it’s epic for dunking in soup, slathering with smashed avo or topping with some poached eggs but when you remove the gluten, grains and yeast, you are left with a slightly more dense loaf. What this loaf lacks in aireyness it absolutely makes up for in nutrients, it packs a mean protein punch, is low carb and even hooks you up with a few serves of veggies.

Bicarb Soda is baking Soda and I’m not sure of temp but I’m sure there is some kind of online converter

I love that you try your best to eat healthily, but just focus on how it makes you feel, not how many calories, sugar, etc is in it!!
Hi Shan,
Just read about you and your philosophy to raise your child. WOW impressive! I had to let go to his dad’s pressure of raising / feeding my son as a normal boy however, still much less sugar than the kids around I know. He loves veggies! Broccoli being one of his favorites.
Regarding the carrot & zucchini bread (as well as the Banana Bread good old recipe from 2012), would you say it works leaving out the eggs?
I don’t think you’ll have luck leaving out the eggs
