Xantham gum can be replaced although you have to play around with amounts depending on what you use. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/xanthan-gum-substitute.html I have been playing around with Irish Moss (Carageenan) which has health benefits and is a raw, natural product. BTW; this stuff makes incredible meringues and gelle’s for sweets without using corn starch, etc!

I use this recipe often with the following subs; Agave instead of sugar, ground flax and applesauce for eggs, rice, almond or hemp milk in place of soy.
YUMMY! I love this bread! Thanks again for sharing!

What can be used to replace the xanthan gum? I hear some people can develop an allergic reaction to it.

Thank you for this site! I’m a newcomer too…and the coconut oil surprised me too. I imagine it’s a solid when cool, the way you describe using it. But I wondered if regular shortening could be used? We just have to stay GF, not CF or SF or…anything else free.
Also, is coconut oil good for you? I thought that was the thing we’re supposed to stay away from.
I clearly have a ton to learn.
Thank you so SO much,
Heather

Hi. I used canola oil instead of coconut oil and the bread was delicious but extremely oily. Has anyone tried using different types or quantities of oil? I am planning on substituting 1/3 the oil for ground flax seed (so 1 1/3 cups oil plus 1/3×3 = 1cup flaxseed).

Have you ever tried coconut milk for soy milk? Also, can I find coconut oil anywhere? I’ve never heard of this before.

Hi! I’m a newcomer to gluten-free, casein-free, soy-free eating. This recipe sounds delicious, can I substitute rice milk for soy milk?

I’m new to your excellent web site and I’m looking at your banana bread recipe. In some parts of the recipe you denote “c” – (2 c. coconut oil) and then you say “4 cups of gluten free bread flour.” So my question is, does the “C” also stand for “cups?”
