Low FODMAP banana egg pancakes
This recipe is almost too simple to share, but I wanted to share it anyway. A basic recipe for low-carb and low FODMAP banana egg pancakes.
If you read my latest blog, you might have seen that I am currently following a SIBO diet.
My IBS complaints kept getting worse and worse lately and some research by my dietician showed that I have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).
I am following a strict diet at the moment to hopefully kill the bad bacteria in my gut and help the good bacteria to thrive again.
This diet is a combination of a low-carb diet and a low FODMAP diet and I was searching for something tasty that I could make for breakfast.
I love a sweet breakfast in the morning and pancakes are always a treat. So I made the well-known low FODMAP banana egg pancakes but with a little twist.
How to make low FODMAP banana egg pancakes
The standard recipe for banana egg pancakes is 1 banana and 2 eggs. But on this SIBO diet, I have to eat low-carb and because of that, I can only eat half a banana as a serving of fruit. Bananas are relatively high in carbs.
So I changed the recipe a little bit and used 1/2 banana and 2 eggs instead. Next to that, I add a splash of almond milk and 2 tablespoons of almond flour (ground almonds) to the mixture.
I mix all of this together and with this batter, I make the pancakes.
I love serving pancakes with a handful of raspberries or blueberries. I use frozen ones that I heat up in the microwave for a minute.
In 10-15 minutes, I have a delicious low FODMAP and SIBO diet-proof breakfast!

Like you, I have been diagnosed with IBS/SIBO. The SIBO diagnosis was this week and I’ve been doing lots of internet searching to determine what I can and can’t eat. This morning I really wanted pancakes — my comfort food — and found this recipe. They are tasty and remind me of crepes or Swedish pancakes. I put a thin smear of peanut butter on them and ate them with strawberries and blueberries. Thank you for giving me hope that I can make it through this challenging time and still eat some good food!
Best of luck! I hope you will manage to figure out how to feel better. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe.
