There’s a time and a place for an intricate low FODMAP lasagne. A busy weeknight is not one of those times or those places, which is why I wanted to write this roundup of easy low FODMAP recipes. They’re all gluten free and vegetarian or vegan. Equally as important: they are all quick and easy weeknight meals that are ready in a flash.

I have catered to all meals in this roundup: from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. Consider this ‘the best of’ my quick and simple low FODMAP recipes.

Easy low FODMAP recipes that are vegetarian or vegan

This recipe roundup features all the easiest and quickest low FODMAP recipes on my website. Where possible, each recipe includes substitutions to account for a number of different dietary requirements within the niche. I aim to provide soy free, corn free, xanthan gum free and nut free options where possible.

Easy low FODMAP breakfasts

I find breakfast to be the trickiest meal of the day to cater for. I can never be bothered cooking up something elaborate or long winded – it needs to be quick and easy. These recipes fit that bill, and also happen to be delicious.

Gluten free buckwheat pancakes

These pancakes are an easy breakfast recipe that use 100% buckwheat flour. All you have to do is mix and bake – no equipment required. These pancakes contain yoghurt and egg, although the yoghurt can be dairy free. Stay tuned for a vegan version. This is a recipe in my buckwheat flour e-book.

Because there are a few buckwheat recipes in this roundup, a quick note. Buckwheat flour is 100% gluten free. Despite the name, buckwheat bears no relation to wheat whatsoever. It is more closely related to rhubarb. Buckwheat is safe for gluten free diets.

While the FODMAP diet is not a gluten free diet per se, a lot of wheat products are high FODMAP.

Low FODMAP overnight oats

For those who are short of time in the morning, there is no better breakfast than a make ahead option. These low FODMAP overnight oats are quick and easy to make and can be adapted as you see fit. If you can’t have oats, I have an oat free, gluten free recipe as well.

Gluten free porridge

There’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of porridge on a winter morning. This recipe hits that spot – no oats required. Like the overnight oat recipe, this can be customised to cater to multiple dietaries.

Gluten free protein pancakes without banana

Protein pancakes are hard to master when you choose a protein with minimal ingredients. These gluten free protein pancakes without banana (or flour) took me a while to master, but I’m glad I persisted. They are filling, delicious, easy to make and low FODMAP to boot.

Gluten free buckwheat wraps without xanthan gum

These buckwheat wraps are one of my FAVOURITE recipes right now. I make a double batch every few weeks and store them in the freezer. Whenever the mood strikes, I simply defrost one in the microwave. You can use these wraps for actual wraps or as a tortilla. I like to pop them on top of nearly set scrambled eggs for a TikTok style egg wrap.

Easy low FODMAP lunches

I always find lunch recipes hard to develop because lunch is really just leftover dinner at my house. With that said, I’ve dug deep and settled on these easy low FODMAP recipes that cater to a variety of lunch styles. In addition, none of them are pungently scented so they work for the office.

Gluten free wraps without xanthan gum (vegan)

I’ve already posted the buckwheat wraps, but I figured these regular wraps should get a mention too. They’re super easy to make and can use a variety of gluten free flours, based on what you have on hand.

Low FODMAP vegan chilli oil noodles

These low FODMAP chilli oil noodles are a quick and easy low FODMAP vegan lunch. I like using my gluten free egg noodles from Intolerance Friendly Kitchen, but regular gluten free pasta is a quick hack for noodles.

I have been on a real buckwheat bender lately. I love the elasticity buckwheat provides, and it seems to work well for my sensitive digestive system too.

Low FODMAP high protein green spaghetti

This green spaghetti tastes like a nice pesto-esque pasta. What hides inside, though, is a lot of greens and protein from cottage cheese and canned beans. Of course, both of these ingredients adhere to low FODMAP guidelines to ensure you get a low FODMAP serve of each (yes, it exists). I know that not everywhere sells lactose free cottage cheese, so I also have a recipe for it.

Homemade lactose free cottage cheese

Cottage cheese is really having a moment, so I couldn’t let the lactose intolerant girlies miss out. Although lactose free cottage cheese is sometimes available here in Australia, it’s generally very expensive. I wanted to offer a cheaper alternative and something for people in places where it’s not accessible.

Low FODMAP vegan chilli

This low FODMAP chilli is one of my favourite freezer stash recipes. It’s easy to make and makes a lot, so you’ll have chilli leftovers for days. I designed the recipe so that you can eat a big bowl of it as a standalone meal without FODMAP concerns. However, it is also great with rice, salad or as a vegan options for tacos, tortillas or nachos.

Low FODMAP vegan bolognese

I could eat this bolognese every week and never get sick of it. Bolognese was one of the only meat dishes I enjoyed before going pescatarian, so it has a nostalgic quality for me.

This vegan, gluten free chocolate cake is a direct descendent of my easiest ever gluten free chocolate cake. The original uses a single flour (white rice flour) and contains no xanthan gum or nuts. Simply mix and bake!

This vegan version uses white rice flour along with tapioca flour. Tapioca flour, as a starch, helps give the cake elasticity and replaces the eggs. This version is also super simple to make, nut free and xanthan gum free.
