🌾 Low FODMAP Granola (Crunchy + Nourishing)

Bloating and granola don't have to go hand in hand. If you’ve been searching for a satisfying, crunchy snack or breakfast topper that’s kind to your gut — this one’s for you.

This Low FODMAP Granola is free from high-FODMAP ingredients, gluten, and dairy, but still full of flavor, texture, and nourishing fats to support digestion and energy. It's crunchy, lightly sweet, and super versatile.

🍯 Ingredients:

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)

• ½ cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• ¼ cup sliced almonds

• ¼ cup chia seeds

• ½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

• ½ tsp cinnamon (I use a little more)

• ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

• ¼ cup maple syrup (low FODMAP-friendly in small portions)

• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Add-Ins (all FODMAP-friendly in small amounts):

• 2 Tbsp dried cranberries (unsweetened, no apple juice)

• 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans

• 1–2 Tbsp dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)

🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt.

3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.

4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the lined baking sheet.

6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

7. Allow to cool completely — it will get crunchier as it cools!

8. Once cooled, mix in your optional add-ins like cranberries or chocolate chips.

🥣 Serving Tips:

• Sprinkle over lactose-free yogurt, almond milk, or a gut-friendly smoothie bowl

• Enjoy as a snack by the handful (but stick to ¼–⅓ cup per serving to stay within Low FODMAP limits)

🌿 Gut-Friendly Notes:

This recipe is packed with fiber, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory ingredients — and skips the gut disruptors like honey, inulin, and excess dried fruit. It’s perfect for women managing bloating, IBS, or looking to reset their digestion without giving up delicious food.
