Notes

*Use bananas that are not too ripe because ripe bananas are higher in FODMAPs. Choose bananas that are yellow, but don’t have many brown specs yet.

**Note: for the low FODMAP diet sieved spelt flour is a safe option, but it isn’t gluten-free. If you have to eat strictly gluten-free, you can best use gluten-free flour.
