Low FODMAP spice cake
I love recipes to make healthy snacks and especially when you can make a large batch at once. With the recipe for this low FODMAP spice cake, you have a snack ready for the next two weeks. Ideal to take with you to work!
Just like probably many of you, I have to work from home for the next few weeks. But even then I find healthy snacks like these ideal. I make this spice cake in the weekend and I freeze it in slices. In the morning, I take a slice out of the freezer and then I have a healthy snack ready for during the day.
When I am sitting at home a lot, I notice that I also snack a lot. To stop myself from eating a lot of unhealthy food all the time, I make sure that I have enough fruit, veggies and some healthier homemade snacks ready. So I can pick something healthy when I feel like snacking. If you like recipes for healthy snacks, make sure to check the healthy snacks category on the blog for more recipes!
The ingredients of the low FODMAP spice cake
This spice cake is based on a classic Dutch recipe called “kruidkoek”. The original recipe contains quite a lot of sugar, but this is a healthier version with only maple syrup as a sweetener.
For the base of this spice cake, I used sieved spelt flour and oat flour. Sieved spelt flour is low FODMAP up to 100 g per serving. Make sure that you use sieved spelt flour and not normal spelt flour because only sieved spelt flour is low FODMAP. I make oat flour myself by putting oats in the food processor.
I love having a slice of this spice cake with a cup of coffee, especially with some butter or margarine on top! Because of the cinnamon and pumpkin spice, it tastes really spicy and it isn’t super sweet.

The recipe looks delicious, I am wondering if you can use something else rather than spelt flour (e.g. gf plain flour blend/gf self raising flour/rice flour/more oat flour) which I am unable to find at the moment due to the virus.
I think a plain gluten-free flour blend must work. I would add 1/2 tsp xanthan gum too, if your flour blend doesn’t already contain that.
What is 2 tl baking powder?
Excuse me, that’s a typo. In Dutch we say tl for tsp, so I made a mistake there. It should be 2 tsp.
