Gestational Diabetes Bread Recipe

This sugar free Coconut Banana Bread is low-carb, high fiber, only 8 ingredients and ready in 35 minutes! Made for Gestational Diabetes, Keto, Paleo, Vegertarian, Gluten Free, Grain Free and Dairy Free.

We have to come to terms with the fact that the beloved, gluten-y sweets are not an option. They're filled with white flour and sugar which are just empty, spiking carbs. Even switching out flour, you'd have to use a considerable amount of sugar to achieve the same texture and taste you're used to. Switching out the sugar gives a different taste too, even if using sugar alcohols in my opinion. So if you enjoy cupcakes, cakes, cookies and all those goodies, it'd benefit you to purchase an alternative flour that allows you to still enjoy, without the guilt or anxiety!

Coconut flour is super absorbent and really soft, so it's great for cakes, soft cookies and breads like this. But that's not why I chose to use it in this Coconut Banana Bread. I want to give you the carbs you're use to seeing, but in delicious, low-glycemic form. So I chose coconut flour based on its nutrients, then built the flavors around that. What's hilarious is that I thought I was being innovative by creating something new, then I Googled coconut flour and saw that Coconut Banana Bread was already a thing. Ha!! Talk about womp womp all over my face! But this recipe should not be confused with a Banana Bread using coconut flour. This is a bread with both banana and coconut as prominent flavors.

Makes the low glycemic list. It's 17 points lower than white sugar; if that helps you gauge it. Each serving has maybe ¼ of a banana in it, which is why I say it fits in at breakfast. Unless you're completely intolerant of bananas, you could try a serving of this recipe and see how your sugar responds. Considering the fat and protein content,

Because bananas seem to be a avoid food for many, the banana in this recipe is only enough for a moderate taste. If you can handle it, add 1.5-2 times more banana for a more bold flavor. Another option is to slice more banana and to top it with like I did in the picture. To be completely safe, nix the real banana and replace it with banana flavoring/extract. Replacing the banana, however, will call for a complete recipe change. Actual bananas are more common in the everyday kitchen than banana flavoring, but if you want to use the flavoring instead, comment below and I'll reconfigure the measurements for you.

This bread for sure fits the snack category, and I think it's sweet enough on its own for dessert, but you can top it with cool whip and it's perfect!!

Gestational Diabetes And Your Diet

The macros (fat, protein and carbs) are all great and well balanced. You're also getting in good amounts of micros like iron and Vitamin A.

1. Add ¼ teaspoon of Maple or Rum extract and OMG! (I drizzled maple syrup in the picture.) 2. The batter will be thick and look weird. Don't worry. 3. One teaspoon of cinnamon gives it a light presence. Two teaspoons make it as prominent as the coconut. 4. Makes 3 muffins or 1 5.5x3 inch (small) loaf. Muffins will bake at 375° for 15-20 mins; loaf, 25-30 mins. Bake until the top center is firm to touch. The edges will also pull away from the pan. 5. Triple the recipe to make a large loaf. Bake at 350° for 50-60 mins, or until top center is firm to touch. Equipment: Oven, 2 Mixing Bowls, Fork, Spoon, Loaf Pan or Muffin Pan.

Both of these changes take away a ton of carbs, making this a lower carb recipe.

Low carb recipes that you find with fewer carbs than this recipe also use almond flour, coconut flour, or some alternative, and use alternative sweeteners.

Of the fake sugars so I stick with sugar or honey for most of my sweet recipes, and rarely use applesauce. Each serving still comes out to less than 13 carbs per serving, 10 of which are sugar, and 2.5 grams of fiber.

Recipes For Mamas With Gestational Diabetes

Yes!!! The old school ideology is to cut out all sugar and eat minimal carbs to treat diabetes. We've come a long way since and have discovered that carbs/sugars aren't the only factor contributing to high glucose.

When it comes to diet (there are non-diet contributing factors to diabetes), an effective way to manage blood sugar is to pair your carbs with protein, fat, and fiber. As the saying goes nowadays, No naked carbs!

Almonds have a lot of fat and since we're using almond flour to cut down the carbs we're adding fat back in. Unless your dietitian has expressed concern about your fat intake, I wouldn't be too concerned with this. It's not like you're eating zucchini bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner all month.

If you want to lessen the fat, swap the oil for milk. To keep it dairy free, use almond or lite coconut milk. The final product won't be as moist, but still good. The second option is to swap 1 cup of almond flour for 2 tablespoons of coconut flour. I haven't tried this with this recipe, however, this is what I do to muffins when I want them to have a softer texture more like regular flour.

Why?? The batter grabs onto the sides of the pan to rise. If the sides are greased the final product will be flatter and denser.

There's no need to peel the zucchini for zucchini bread. In fact, the dark green peeling adds an eye-catching aspect to the otherwise brown bread.

Nutritious Snack Ideas For Moms With Gestational Diabetes

A lot of recipes do require the zucchini to be squeezed of excess water but this recipe doesn't. The liquid is accounted for and it doesn't change the flavor a bit.

It does when you make it healthier than the standard version. This recipe swaps the white flour, which has no nutritional value, for almond flour, and uses less sugar than the standard version. Zucchini has a significant amount of Vitamin C, but is sensitive to heat so some is lost in the baking process.

Healthy zucchini bread is as simple as swapping the empty calories of flour for a more nutritious one, and cutting down the sugar for an exceptional healthy treat.
