Blueberry Muffin Bread

Love a good loaf? Here's a new one to try.

Blueberries are delicious and Low FODMAP at one cup per meal! This recipe only calls for 1/5 cups total, so this makes this a better option for all those looking to be enjoy a treat lower in fodmaps. Even if you don't have fresh, you can substitute frozen blueberries as well!

Low FODMAP options when it comes to breads can be hard and this is not quite low fodmap. It does contain all-purpose flour. Thus, if the triggers found in wheat are one of your main triggers, this would not quite be the one for you. I think that combining almond flour with some gluten free may be a good option for replacement- 3/4 almond, 1/4 gluten free flour mix per cup of flour would be my suggestion. It really is fun to make so I cannot recommend enough!

I find that even though this does not use a low fodmap flour option, I plan to try it out next time I make it! However, even still, per slice, there is not an incredible amount of flour. I am in the personalization phase of Low FODMAP and the fructans in wheat are not one of my triggers, so I cannot tell you for sure that this will not cause flares without the low fodmap serving size recommendations, for which there has not been much released information. Hopefully, you find that you can enjoy this without flare-up and we see some more research soon. Happy eating!

Recipe

This recipe is the Blueberry Muffin Bread from Sally's Bake Blog, but I have made some substitutions and notes below.

Low FODMAP Notes

1. All Purpose Flour

   1. I used all purpose flour as wheat does not trigger my IBS. However, in the future I hope to try 3/4 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup GF flour mix (which TBD but this article helps) per cup of flour.

2. Sour cream Substitution:

   1. 1/4 cup of Lactose-free greek yogurt

   2. 1/4 cup of mashed *Yellow (just yellow, no brown spots yet) banana

3. Milk Substitution:

   1. replace 1-1 with lactose free milk (1/3 cup of Fair life lactose free).

Baking Notes

1. I definitely recommend adding the jam and crumb topping! I did one tablespoon of the jam and used about 3/4 of the crumb topping.

2. Mine ended up needing about 70 minutes of baking time to fully bake. Turned out great. It is really important to add that foil 30 minutes in for sure!

Try it!

Though it is not fully Low FODMAP, I encourage you to try this tasty bread at a safe time and in a safe place because it hopefully won't cause a trigger with the smaller amount of flour, but we always want to be cognizant. It's delicious and I cannot wait to hear about those who try it. Let me know in the comments below or on instagram!
