Low FODMAP gut friendly Muffins

These are super tasty, really easy to make and even easier to eat! They are low in FODMAP and gut friendly so great for anyone with a sensitive gut. They go great as a snack or as breakfast and also happen to be high in protein as we use almond flour and are gluten free so they tick alot of boxes!

Takes: 30 minutes | Makes: 12 muffins | Difficulty: Beginner

These muffins are really easy to make and so worth the effort. My family really enjoy these when I make them. They are friendly for your gut as they are low FODMAP which means they are low in fermentable carbohydrates. They work great as a breakfast muffin at the weekend. You can use whatever fruit you have for decoration and if you don’t have any then they are fine without it!!

FAQ – frequently asked questions

Can I use normal oats instead of gluten free ones?

Absolutely! Assuming you are not gluten free! We leave out the gluten as it can sometimes be aggravating to peoples gut.

Does the flax egg actually work like an egg?

Yes! We use ‘flax eggs’ all the time in vegan baking. Simply mix 2 tablespoon of ground flax seed with 3 tablespoons of water, mix and leave to sit for 5 minutes. You can also use chia seeds instead of ground flaxseeds.

Can i freeze these muffins?

We have not tried to freeze these but we imagine they would! Let us know in the comments below if you do try freeze them!

How am i best storing this?

Store in an airtight container for at least 3 days.

If I don’t have sunflower oil/coconut oil can I just use olive oil?

You don’t really want to use olive oil as it has a strong flavour to it. If you can’t find sunflower or coconut oil you could use vegetable oil.

Should I store these in the fridge

No best to store them at room temperature so they stay fresh. They will get soggy in the fridge which you don’t want.

    Sound great! Could you suggest something to replace almond with? Can’t have any nuts due to severe allergy. We aren’t gluten free

    These are delicious! We use extra virgin olive oil all the time in these and it works wonderfully. I also decrease the honey anywhere by 1/3 to 1/2 and they’re still delish!
