Low FODMAP sweet potato muffins
Some time ago, I challenged myself to make some more varied breakfasts, instead of only eating the same thing every day. One of the recipes that I made were these low FODMAP sweet potato muffins! I got asked a few times if I wanted to share the recipe and of course I want to do that!
I am usually more into the sweet breakfasts than savoury ones, but I really loved those low FODMAP sweet potato muffins (ok, sweet potatoes are a bit sweet too, but for me, this still falls in the savoury category). Just like cottage cheese pancakes, by the way, they are great too.
The ingredients of the low FODMAP sweet potato muffins
- I use gluten-free flour from Schär for this recipe. You can also use oat flour. If you tolerate spelt, spelt flour is also an option, but I wouldn’t advise to do this when you are still in the elimination or reintroduction phase because spelt is high in FODMAPs.
- Cottage cheese is low FODMAP up to 40 gr per portion, so in this amount, it shouldn’t give any problems. When I am not sure about the amount of lactose I usually take a lactase pill. If you have to avoid lactose completely you could use lactose-free cottage cheese (if available) or otherwise lactose-free quark or thick lactose-free yoghurt.
- Sweet potato is low in FODMAPs up to 70 gr per portion. To keep your serving low fodmap it is best to only eat one muffin per serving. You can also choose to replace the sweet potato (partially or entirely) by pumpkin (don’t choose butternut), then you can eat two muffins.
Something different for breakfast than a standard sandwich or oatmeal!
