Five Simple Low-FODMAP Sweet Treats & Desserts
1. Rice Cake with Almond Butter and Berries:
Spread almond butter on rice cakes (check for FODMAP content).
Top with fresh low-FODMAP berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.
2. Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices:
Core and slice apples (choose low FODMAP varieties such as Granny Smith).
Place apple slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
Bake until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Dark Chocolate-Dipped Banana Slices:
Melt dark chocolate (2oz or less to remain low FODMAP) in a microwave-safe bowl.
Dip banana slices into the melted chocolate and let them cool on parchment paper.
4. Coconut and Almond Energy Bites:
In a bowl, combine almond meal, shredded coconut, a touch of maple syrup (if tolerated), and a pinch of salt.
Mix until a dough forms, then shape into small energy bites.
Roll the bites in extra shredded coconut and refrigerate until firm.
5. Lemon Poppy Seed Rice Pudding:
Cook white rice and let it cool.
Mix in a splash of freshly squeezed lemon juice, a sprinkle of poppy seeds, and a touch of maple syrup (if tolerated).
Remember to adjust portion sizes and ingredients based on your individual tolerance. If you have specific dietary restrictions, it's always a good idea to consult with a licensed nutritionist who specializes in your needs to ensure that these treats align with your dietary requirements.
