Nut & Seed Granola
Ingredients
Makes one large jar (750g)
- 1 - 2 tsp ground cinnamon (depending on taste)
- 50g pure maple syrup, date syrup or runny honey
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 250g rolled oats (gluten-free oats if you’re on the gluten free plan)
- 150g nuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts, roughly chopped
- 40g sunflower seeds
- 40g pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 200g dried apple, roughly chopped (or use raisins or dates)
- Pinch of salt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/130°C fan and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Warm the cinnamon, olive oil and sweetener together in a large pan.
- Add the remaining ingredients apart from the dried fruit and stir until completely coated, then spread out evenly on the lined baking tray.
- Bake the granola for 25-30 minutes or until the mix is completely golden brown and crisp throughout, rotating the tray ½ way through so it bakes evenly.
- Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool, then stir in the dried apple, breaking the granola up to your prefered size as you do, before storing in large airtight jar.

If you are looking for a quick lunch or dinner recipe using ingredients you may already have in the pantry, look no further! Our kimchi fried rice recipe is super easy to assemble, and can be altered to use either tofu or chicken depending on your dietary requirements. Just to note, this recipe is not low FODMAP friendly.
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.
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.
