A few weeks ago I shared this recipe for a healthier homemade Nutella with you and in today’s recipe, I made a snack with the Nutella. Low FODMAP Ferrero Rocher energy balls. Healthy bliss balls! They are super simple to make. You only need the low FODMAP Nutella, some oat flour (ground oats), crushed nuts and then you have delicious energy balls. Lots of nuts, cacao and little sugar.
Because the Ferrero Rocher balls contain hazelnuts and hazelnuts are only limited low FODMAP, a portion of one snack ball at a time is low FODMAP. The balls are also quite calorie dense (nuts simply contain a lot of calories), so also because of that it is better to stick with one at a time.
Will you let me know if you have made my low FODMAP Ferrero Rocher energy balls? I would love it if you would let me know what you think about the recipe by leaving a reaction and a rating below.

Description
Low FODMAP Ferrero Rocher energy balls made with healthy Nutella. A perfect snack for extra energy! Gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan
Ingredients
- 150 g homemade healthy Nutella
- 50 g oat flour (or ground oatmeal)
- A small handful of pecans, crushed into small pieces*
Instructions
- Stir the oat flour into the Nutella. Form balls of the mixture with your hands.
- Roll the balls into the pieces of pecan until all sides have been covered.

Notes
*Usually you would use pieces of hazelnut for this but because hazelnuts are only low FODMAP in small amounts and the Nutella already contains hazelnuts, I chose to use pecans instead.

I have now made this and the homemade Nutella recipe three times! It’s just as addicting as regular Nutella so be careful!
How many Ferrero Rocher balls can I have that’s low fodmap?
As hazelnuts are limited low FODMAP I would eat a maximum of 2 per serving
Hi Karlijn,
Ik vond het lastig vinden wat in normale ferrero rocher nou hoog in fodmaps is. Ik kwam alleen uit dat het de Oligo-fructans zijn maar welk ingredient is me onduidelijk. Weet jij dit? Dat zou me denk ik helpen met waar ik wel en niet tegen kan
In principe is het voornamelijk de FODMAP groep lactose, ferrero rocher bevat namelijk melkpoeder, boterconcentraat, weipoeder en daar zit allemaal lactose in. Daarnaast zit er tarwemeel in.
Nu is tarwe in een kleine hoeveelheid wel low FODOMAP en lactose ook. Dus het zou best kunnen dat je bijv. 1 ferrero rocher zonder problemen kunt eten. Maar dat zou je dan voor jezelf kunnen testen.
