Suffering from a snack attack? Whip up one of these easy low FODMAP blueberry lemon mug cakes!

There’s something about being trapped inside all day that has turned me into a snack monster! But since we’re staying with our in-laws while we renovate (yeah, that’s still happening), we’re a little cramped for snack space.

Enter this easy peasy blueberry lemon mug cake! I just toss the ingredients into a mug (pick a large one), give it a whisk, pop it in the microwave and I’ve got a fresh-baked muffin, just for me!

Sound like your kind of snack? Measure out a few servings of the dry ingredients and pop them in ziplock bags so you don’t have to haul out your measuring cups every time you want a snack!

You can also freeze the lemon zest so you don’t waste your lemon. Just zest your goods and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Stick the baking sheet in the freezer for an hour or two, then scoot the zesties into the middle of the foil and roll it up into a little sleeping bag. Pop the foil into a freezer-proof bag or container and you’ve got fresh lemon zest whenever you want it!

Keep it FODMAP friendly

There are a few things to keep in mind when making these tasty low FODMAP blueberry lemon mug cakes. Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe low FODMAP!

First up, flour. If you’re in the elimination phase of the program, you’ll need to use gluten-free flour. Don’t forget to check the label for other high FODMAP ingredients like almond flour, amaranth flour, coconut flour etc.

And remember, unless you have celiac disease, you’re managing the FODMAP fructan, not gluten itself!

Next up, milk. If you’re in the elimination phase, you’ll need to use either lactose-free milk or a low FODMAP milk alternative.

We’ll also be using butter. But, according to Monash University, butter doesn’t have any detectable FODMAPs (because it’s all fat). Check the label for added milk products like milk, cream, milk solids, lactose, etc. and you’re good to go!

Next up, lemon zest. According to the Monash app, lemon juice is low FODMAP in servings of 1/2 a cup (125 g) per sitting. Servings of 3/4 cups (187 g) or more are high in the FODMAP fructan.

We’ll be using 1 tsp of zest, which won’t add anything notable to your FODMAP load.

Last but not least, blueberries. According to Monash, blueberries are low FODMAP in servings of 1/4 cup (40 g) per sitting. Servings of 1/3 cup (50 g) or more are high in the FODMAP fructan.

We’ll be using 1/4 cup of blueberries, which works out to one serving of blueberries per sitting. This is within Monash’s recommended range.
