Check out the recipe below! 🐣

Ingredients

1/2 Cup of oats
1/2 Banana (just ripe, maybe a little green left on there)
1/4 Cup almond milk (or lactose-free milk of choice)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Toppings (All totally optional-whatever you want to add)

Yogurt of Choice (just enough to cover the top)
- I used Vanilla Coconut Milk Yogurt by So Delicious
- I also HIGHLY recommend Fage's lactose free greek yogurt. If you want a sweeter taste, you can mix in a 1/2 tsp of vanilla.
Sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg
Chia seeds
I added a few more chopped walnuts, as my gut can tolerate more than the recommended serving.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Blend oats in a blender for 5-10 seconds. Then add all ingredients expect for the carrots and walnuts until it is thoroughly mixed/blended.
Fold in carrots and walnuts until they are evenly dispersed.
Pour into greased baking dish ( I simply used a pyrex glass dish).
Bake for about 20 minutes.

Low FODMAP Notes

Oats- I used Quaker Old Fashioned oats. 1/2 Cup is Low FODMAP serving size.
Protein Powder-Please use whichever type/brand you prefer. Make sure that the ingredients are compatible with a Low FODMAP diet, based on your intolerances. I find that I have no adverse reactions to Naked Nutrition's Brown Rice Protein.
Milk- Use your preferred lactose free option!
Banana-Ensure that your banana is not past ripe as the fructans build up too much in that case.
Walnuts-The 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts usually add up to just below the 10 walnut halves of the Low FODMAP servings.
Yogurt Topping- Use a lactose free option whether that be a lactose free version or dairy free version like coconut milk yogurt! The brands I recommend are in the ingredient list above!
