Recipes developed by a specialist dietitian
A few weeks back I asked in one of my posts if there were any low FODMAP recipes that readers would like me to include on the website. One suggestion was carrot cake as this person had struggled to find a good gluten free recipe. For my mum’s 70th birthday this week I made a…
This recipe for crusty bread was given to me by one of my patients and I think it’s the best tasting gluten free, FODMAP friendly bread I’ve had. We’d been having a conversation about home-made bread and I admitted that I had really struggled to make a good gluten free loaf either by hand or…
This low FODMAP cupcake recipe was suggested by one of my dietetic colleagues who is an expert on gluten free baking. It’s her go-to gluten free (and also low FODMAP) fairy cake recipe that she uses for every occasion. It’s based on one that was posted on Nigella Lawson’s website called Easy Gluten Free Eton…
A slice of this cake is a great accompaniment for a cup of tea and is really simple to make if you have visitors coming round. I don’t think anyone would know that it doesn’t contain regular flour or that you were on a special diet. Using bananas in a cake has the added bonus…
This has to be my favourite cake recipe, it’s the one I use most often for birthdays and celebrations (it’s also become my mum’s favourite chocolate cake recipe too). The only adjustment I’ve made to make it suitable for the low FODMAP diet is to swap the wheat flour for a self raising gluten free…
These muffins make a great tasting, healthy(ish!) low FODMAP snack option. The amount of courgette used is well within FODMAP limits if you keep it to 1-2 muffins per sitting (i.e. leave 2-3 hours before having another). They freeze well too, so make a batch and put some in the freezer – take one out…
I remember having polenta biscuits a few years ago on holiday in Venice, they were S shaped and served with an after dinner liqueur for dipping them in. These are very easy to make and something the kids enjoy having a go at too. We made a chocolate version at the weekend (just substitute about…
A fatless sponge cake is a really simple option if you’re thinking of doing some low FODMAP baking. A good choice if you’ve got some visitors coming round. I’ve used my mum’s recipe which is very easy to remember – just 2 eggs, 2 oz caster sugar and 2 oz plain flour. I’ve converted it…
Soda bread is a really easy and quick way to make a Low FODMAP loaf of bread. Much cheaper than ready made gluten free bread and no “surprise” ingredients – which is often the case with bought gluten free breads and makes many of them unsuitable on the low FODMAP diet. I have a friend…
Home made oatcakes are such a treat, they taste quite different to shop bought ones, I would definitely recommend giving them a go. The recipe came from my sister-in-law who was given it by a lady from the island of Berneray, hence the name Berneray Oatcakes. I use the recipe a lot. The original recipe…
