Low FODMAP All-Butter Flapjacks (makes 24)

Low FODMAP All-Butter Flapjacks by The Fat Foodie

I’ve posted a recipe for flapjacks before in the form of my Iron-Rich Flapjacks which are fairly low fat and are filled with delicious low FODMAP dried fruits, nuts and seeds, but although those flapjacks are nice, sometimes all you want is a butter-enriched simple flapjack which celebrates the incredible ingredients which are butter and oats.

(The recipe for my Iron-Rich Flapjacks can be found here: https://thefatfoodie.co.uk/2018/01/07/iron-rich-flapjacks-makes-20/).

I have no shame in telling you that this is a very plain, yet classic, recipe for all-butter flapjacks and it’s a real fall-back biscuit in my house due to its tastiness and ease of baking.

Butter, in and of itself, is low FODMAP in portions of 19g or less per serving which makes these All-Butter Flapjacks a low FODMAP biscuit. In fact, butter doesn’t actually contain FODMAPs. However, all forms of fat have the potential to increase gut motility (i.e. make you poop faster/more frequently), so if you’re sensitive to fats, I’d advise you to stick to the recommended low FODMAP portion size of 1 serving.

These low FODMAP All-Butter Flapjacks are rich, indulgent and extremely delicious while adding valuable insoluble fibre to your diet. If that’s not nutritionally celebrating the best of both worlds I don’t know what is!

Ingredients:

500g gluten-free oats

130g salted butter

130g brown sugar

4 tbsps golden syrup

Method:

Preheat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/400F/Gas mark 6 and line a large tin or high-sided baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Put a saucepan over a medium heat and melt the butter and syrup together until combined.

Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.

Measure the oats into a large bowl and then pour over the syrup mixture and mix well until all of the oats are coated.

Pour the oats into the baking tin, press them down until they are level and then bake them in the oven for 25-30 mins until golden brown.

Leave them to cool down a bit and then cut them into 24 portions before serving.

Stir-Fried Ginger Tofu with Rice (serves 4)

Stir-Fried Ginger Tofu with Rice by The Fat Foodie

I’m relatively new to the wonders of tofu, but I’m steadily becoming a fan and I guarantee that you’ll become one too if you make this stir-fried ginger tofu with rice. If you can, it’s best if you leave the ginger tofu to marinade overnight to really let it absorb the aromatic flavours, but you can also just let it marinade for an hour or so before using it, if you like.

Low FODMAP Gingerbread (serves 12)

Low FODMAP Gingerbread by The Fat Foodie

When people say the word ‘gingerbread’ it tends to conjure up the image of two options: either crispy gingerbread men biscuits or soft, sticky gingerbread cake. I’ve already featured gingerbread biscuits before on the website in the form of Gingerbread People, but I thought it’d be nice to post a recipe for a delicious and warming gingerbread cake too.
