I developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast option that was also low in FODMAPs. I had been following a low-FODMAP diet for a few months, and I was struggling to find breakfast foods that I enjoyed. Most of the recipes I found were either bland or too high in sugar and fat. I decided to experiment with different ingredients, and I finally came up with this recipe for low-FODMAP breakfast cookies.
