Low FODMAP breakfast ideas and recipes

Sometimes it’s a little tricky to know what to eat for breakfast on a low FODMAP diet. A lot of grains and breads are higher FODMAP, as are many fruits. I’ve been working on lots of new recipes recently, so I wanted to put together this list of low FODMAP breakfast ideas and recipes.

It’s a collection of easy recipes from my website and my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen. I will add to the list as I publish more breakfast recipes, so let me know if you have a specific request in the comments.

Low FODMAP breakfast ideas and recipes

These breakfast ideas and recipes are all low FODMAP and either wheat free or gluten free. They are all vegetarian or vegan with plenty of nut free and egg free options as well. Whether you enjoy gluten free toast, porridge, sausages or croissants, there is a low FODMAP breakfast here for you.

Low FODMAP overnight oats

Oats aren’t considered gluten free in Australia, but they are low FODMAP in 52g (1/2 cup) serves. These overnight oats use lactose free yoghurt and a small amount of chia seeds to keep the FODMAP content down. They are incredibly easy low FODMAP breakfast. Need them to be gluten free, too? See the gluten free version below.

Gluten free overnight ‘oats’

Gluten free AND low FODMAP, these overnight ‘oats’ use rice flakes to replace the traditional oats. Rice flakes have a very subtle, nutty flavour which is why I love them. Don’t get me wrong, I love a quinoa flake, but they do have a strong taste that not everyone enjoys. Rice flakes, though? They’re subtle enough to be disguised by some low FODMAP yoghurt and a bit of maple syrup.

Gluten free porridge

Can you tell I just rediscovered rice flakes? These gluten free porridge uses rice flakes in place of oats for one of my favourite comforting low FODMAP breakfast ideas. You can eat them as is, or top them with a low FODMAP fruit.

Low FODMAP chia pudding

This easy and delicious low FODMAP chia pudding is extra filling thanks to the addition of yoghurt. Yoghurt helps the chia pudding thicken in record time, which means you don’t need to make it hours ahead of time.

Gluten free buckwheat wraps

These easy buckwheat wraps are xanthan gum free, egg free and can easily be made vegan with the right yoghurt. I love using them for TikTok style breakfast egg wraps with feta and plenty of jalapenos.

Vegan, low FODMAP sausages

I LOVE these gluten free, grain free, nut free, vegan and low FODMAP sausages. They’re a bit fiddly to make, but they taste SO GOOD and are made from straightforward ingredients.

Gluten free croissants and pains au chocolat

We didn’t say it had to be a healthy breakfast, right? These gluten free croissants and pains au chocolat are two of my favourite recipes from my cookbook, Intolerance Friendly Kitchen. Although the art of lamination takes some time, it’s a worthy time investment. I’ve written a long post on all my gluten free croissant tips and tricks, too.

Protein banana pancakes

My recent SIBO elimination diet got me right into protein powder to help me feel full. These gluten free protein pancakes are a direct result of that experience. I have provided plenty of notes for using different protein powders (dairy and plant based) too.

Low FODMAP granola (gluten free, oat free)

Having an easy recipe for granola memorised is so important, in my biased opinion. This version is specifically developed to be low FODMAP, as well as oat free, gluten free and vegan. I have included suggestions for making it nut free as well.

These bagels use a scald, a boil and psyllium husk powder to recreate that classic bagel chewiness without any xanthan gum. They’re one of my favourite gluten free bread recipes I’ve developed, and they come complete with a low FODMAP everything bagel seasoning.
