I can’t yogurt, is there something I could replace the yogurt with?
Hi, Diane! Thank you for stopping by! The yogurt can be replaced with a dairy-free yogurt such as coconut yogurt, mashed banana, or applesauce. I hope this helps! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Hi. Sounds absolutely divine. Unfortunately, I have several family members who are diabetic, so need to lower the carbs. Could I substitute the gluten free flour with extra almond flour/coconut flour combination. Will also use a sugar free alternative substitution
Hi! While I haven’t tested it, I do think this recipe would work well with almond flour in place of the all purpose flour blend. Almond flour should work in 1:1 ratio, but if you would like to include coconut flour, use 1/4 cup coconut flour per 1 cup of all purpose flour. I hope this helps!
Superb!! Needed a healthy sweet option for a gluten and dairy free family and this was so delish. Unlike many GF baked goods, this is still lovely even several days after I baked it. I needed to substitute the greek yogurt for a plant based yogurt so, I chose a coconut milk yogurt to further underscore the coconut flavor profile. I used a very fine shred of carrots and only had enough for 1.5 cups, but, that didn’t seem to be a problem. Thank you for this recipe! It’s a keeper!
I’m so very happy to hear it! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
Hello, I have everything except the yogurt. I’m trying to find dairy-free recipes in addition to gluten free. Is there anything I might have on hand that will be a substitute for yogurt? Coconut cream?
Hi! If you do not have dairy-free yogurt, applesauce would be the next best thing. If you only have coconut cream, I would cut it down to 1/4 cup for the best results. I hope this helps!
I have to say this sounds delicious but have not made it. Please help me with adjusting of your recipe.
We can’t have almond or all purpose flour so we hope to adjust this with sorghum/buckwheat mix.
Can’t tolerate too much sugar so will maple work instead of coconut sugar?
We use vegan yogurt, will this work?
Sorry to mangle your creation but it’s our 7 year old and dad who cannot tolerate these ingredients.
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi, Jasmin! No worries. I completely understand. Sorghum and buckwheat make a wonderful mix and you can use 3/4 cup of each in this recipe. Maple syrup will work just fine, but you will want to cut the yogurt down to 1/4 cup when doing so. And yes, vegan works just fine! I hope this helps. 🙂
Hi, does your gf flour already contain Xantham gum? If not how much do I need to add? As I make my own gf flour mix. Also is tapioca flour same as tapioca starch? I have tapioca starch. I am new to gf free baking and love the look and sound of your recipe. Going to make it today. Xxx
Hi, there! This recipe works well with all purpose blends with or without xanthan. If you choose to add xanthan (which will result in a loaf that hold together a bit better), use 1/2 teaspoon. Tapioca flour and starch are the same! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the recipe! 🙂
My husband & I have been wanting to make a healthy Morning Glory loaf. . Glad to find your recipe. Mind you ,this was our 2nd try making it. Since the 1st one didn’t quite turned out quite right! It’s a lot of work since at the same time I was cooking brunch for the family & my hubby decided out of his heart to help me! Followed every step & ingredients you had except I didn’t have Tapioca flour. Added orange zest & the juice from the orange. Instead of raisins, we added dried cherries & dates! We don’t like baking soda as much, so I had used a tsp only! Oh, we added 1/2 c crushed pineapple. Hey, it came out very moist , and boy it is nutrient riched food!
Thank you for sharing! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂
