These low FODMAP zucchini muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour, which gives them a light and fluffy texture. The zucchini adds a natural sweetness and moisture, while the maple syrup and coconut oil provide a subtle richness. These muffins are also gluten-free and dairy-free, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
The story of these low FODMAP zucchini muffins begins with a quest to find a healthy and delicious breakfast option that was also low in FODMAPs. FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that can be difficult to digest and can cause gas, bloating, and other digestive issues. Many people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) find that they need to follow a low FODMAP diet to manage their symptoms.
After much experimentation, I finally developed a recipe for low FODMAP zucchini muffins that met all of my criteria. They are delicious, healthy, and easy to make. I love them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
