When I wanted to make a strawberry tiramisu a few weeks ago, I found out that the gluten-free lady fingers that I always used for tiramisu (these) were not low FODMAP anymore. They contain sorbitol syrup now and sorbitol is a FODMAP. Because I really wanted to make the tiramisu, I decided to make my own gluten-free ladyfingers. 

I didn’t create the recipe for the lady fingers myself, I used this recipe from the blog The Loopy Whisk. I have mentioned The Loopy Whisk a few times lately because Kat really makes the most amazing gluten-free recipes.

The recipes from her blog are often suitable for a low FODMAP diet too. The gluten-free lady fingers that she made looked so good that I thought, it doesn’t make sense to try to figure out this recipe myself, I will just follow her recipe. All credits for this recipe are for Kat from The Loopy Whisk! 

Making gluten-free lady fingers

I was really surprised by how easy it was to make gluten-free lady fingers. I thought that the cookies would never turn out like the lady fingers that you can buy in the store, but they turned out PERFECT. They were crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside, like a lady finger should be. Fantastic for in a homemade tiramisu. 

The recipe is very simple. The only thing that costs a little bit of time, is that you have to split the eggs and whip up the egg whites. This makes a super fluffy and airy batter and that’s what you need for chewy and crunchy lady fingers. You put the batter into a piping bag and pipe the lady fingers on a baking sheet. Within half an hour, you have made the cookies and can put them into the oven!
