Low FODMAP oat pancakes

Ingredients

120ml oat milk

30g rolled oats

70g oat flour

2 small eggs, beaten

1 small banana, mashed

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon or vanilla, optional

A little olive oil to cook

Optional to serve:

  • Fresh berries

  • Cinnamon sugar

  • Yoghurt or crème fraîche

Method

  1. Whisk together the oats, oat flour, milk, eggs, banana, baking powder and cinnamon until smooth.
  2. Heat a non stick pan over a medium heat and brush or spray with a little oil.
  3. Spoon enough pancake mixture of about 3 tablespoons into the pan that will fit at once. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the base sets and bubbles appear on the top.
  4. Carefully flip and cook the other side for 1 to 1½ minutes until cooked through. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture.
  5. Serve topped with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a dollop of yoghurt or crème fraîche if using.

Whipped Feta Dip with Zaatar Roasted Courgettes
recipe
By Emma Hatcher

Whipped feta dips have taken the internet by storm for good reason - and you don’t have to miss out if you’re following the low FODMAP diet! When tested, feta only showed trace amounts of FODMAPs making it the perfect base for a creamy, scoopable summer dip recipe (come rain or shine!) If you are able to tolerate lactose well you can sub in regular cream cheese and yogurt here and don’t be put off by the honey - the amount listed is well within recommended limits and adds just a hint of sweetness to the tangy feta.

Sticky Ginger Bundt Cake
recipe
By Emma Hatcher

Inspired by Parkin, a syrupy ginger cake traditionally had on Bonfire night in the North of England, this bundt cake is a no less delicious gluten-free and lower FODMAP alternative. Instead of higher FODMAP golden syrup and treacle, I’ve used the sweet syrup from a stem ginger jar to get that unctuous texture, along with ground walnuts, dark brown sugar and olive oil.

To ensure maximum ginger flavour there are four! types of ginger - stem, ground, fresh and crystallised - while cinnamon and garam masala give the cake warmth and a little extra spice.

I love serving this cake topped with a spoonful of yogurt or crème fraiche.

Sweet Potato and Chocolate Loaf Cake
recipe
By Matt Williamson

This is a very speedy cake to throw together once the sweet potato is cooked, and it’s low FODMAP friendly, and dairy and gluten free. It can be vegan and egg-fee too if you use an egg substitute such as a flax egg or commercial egg alternative.

You can serve it by itself, or with a spoonful of yogurt or low FODMAP friendly yogurt substitute.

I hope you like it!

Gluten Free Hot Cross Bun Cheesecake
recipe
By Emma Hatcher

All the flavours of a hot cross bun, in rich, buttery no-bake cheesecake form. This recipe turned out even better than I could have imagined and I especially love how the tart orange marmalade peeks through the creamy vanilla filling, enticing you to find out what’s below.

In baking, lactose free cream and cream cheese don’t always work in the same way as their regular counterparts. Rather than fighting that fact, I’ve used regular double cream in this cheesecake recipe, within the low FODMAP limit, which is what allows the cheesecake to set without the need for gelatine or something similar. Chilling overnight is really important too and if the filling ever feels like it could do with some extra setting power, a quick freezer stint always works.

Field Doctor chef Matt Williamson has created a delicious new cookie recipe that is both gluten-free and low FODMAP. Ground almonds and brown rice flour form the foundation, providing a delightful blend of health-conscious ingredients.

Brown rice flour contains good amounts of vitamin B6, phosphorous, selenium, and magnesium, not to mention a healthy dose of antioxidants that can protect cells against oxidative damage.

Almonds provide fibre and protein, as well as micronutrients such as iron and vitamin E.
