Porridge is a great breakfast choice on the low FODMAP diet. It’s high fibre, low fat and low GI so it should keep you feeling full all morning. I like adding different things to porridge to change it up a bit and cardamom is one of my favourites. It just adds a lovely, warming scent without overpowering. I think almond milk works well with the cardamom but feel free to use another suitable low FODMAP milk instead. As always just check that the alternative milks don’t contain any apple juice, fruit juice concentrates, inulin, chicory or added fructose.

Cardamon Scented Porridge
Author: Louisa Reid
Recipe type: Breakfast
: Low FODMAP
Serves: 1
Porridge infused with a lovely, warming cardamom flavour.
Ingredients
- 3 desert spoons or 30g rolled oats (I like the texture of jumbo oats)
- 200ml almond milk
- 3 cardamom pods
- ½ a firm banana, sliced
Instructions
- Place the ingredients in a small pan and cook gently, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes until the porridge has thickened (jumbo oats take a bit longer)
- Remove the cardamom pods and serve with the sliced banana
Hi should these be gluten free oats
Hi Neil, they don’t have to be gluten free, normal oats are fine on the low FODMAP diet
Hi! Should I do anything to the cardamom pods before I put them in with the oats?
Hi Ali, I just put them in whole. You could bash them a bit first but it would be a much stronger flavour. Best wishes, Louisa
