Low FODMAP chocolate mug cake
I love breakfast! If I would have some more time, I would eat a different breakfast every morning. During the week, I usually eat the same breakfast, oatmeal or polenta porridge, but in the weekend I like to experiment with different things. This time, I made a low FODMAP chocolate mug cake! A super simple healthy cake that you can make in the microwave. Quick, but very tasty.
Low FODMAP chocolate mug cake variations
You can vary with a mug cake easily! I made a basic mug cake with banana, egg, oats and cacao powder, but you can also add extra ingredients to vary with your mug cake. For example:
- Scoop half of the mug cake batter in the mug. Add 1 tsp of peanut butter or low FODMAP chocolate spread and scoop the other half of the batter on top.
- Stir some low FODMAP chopped nuts through the batter, such as walnuts or pecans.
- Stir 1 tbsp chocolate chips through the batter. Dark chocolate is low FODMAP up to 30 g per serving, milk chocolate up to 20 g per serving and white chocolate up to 25 g per serving.
- Serve the mug cake with some low FODMAP fruit. Monash advises not to eat more than 150 g fruit per serving because large amounts of fruit can cause issues. Use maximum 50 g of fruit for garnish (because you already add 100 g of banana into the mug cake)
- Serve the mug cake with some lactose-free yoghurt.

Notes
*Use certified gluten-free oats if you have to eat gluten-free
**Large amounts of fruit can cause problems, therefore it is advised to eat a maximum amount of 150 g of fruit per meal. Because you already add 100 gram of banana to the mug cake, I advise to serve a maximum of 50 gram of fruit with your mug cake. Such as 50 gram strawberries.
