These are my “go-to” recipe for all things pot luck and family dinners -if I am asked to bring a dessert. I have adjusted them to make them be lower wheat version and thus eliminate some of the fructans in the wheat.
To be clear, gluten is a protein in wheat but the part of the wheat that causes it to be high Fodmap is the fructans in the wheat. I really try to avoid the fructose in my diet and keep it less than 30g/day-which is what the experts say is best tolerated. Since these do have sugar and dairy, you would want to take extra care in the portion size and also if you are farther along in your journey of healing, but they are WONDERFUL!
