Super soft and moist blueberry muffins that are perfect for afternoon tea and are suitable for the low FODMAP diet.
This dessert is not only delicious and easy to eat, but also does not require any fancy mixers or additional steps, just two bowls and a whisk. This is one of my go to dessert recipes for last minute gatherings, family events, or if you are a first time baker. It is also a great low FODMAP dessert option as all these ingredients are low FODMAP.
For this recipe, to make the buttermilk, reach for either a lactose free milk or almond milk to keep the recipe FODMAP friendly. This recipe still works great without traditional milk! Once you have added the lemon juice to your choice of milk for the buttermilk, allow it to sit for roughly 10 minutes to allow the milk to curdle slightly.
For this recipe, I chose Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour. This particular flour already contains xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is required in gluten free baking because it provides the elasticity and acts as a binding agent for the flour, more importantly it is responsible for holding onto moisture, which is exactly what gluten free flour often lacks. Find yourself a gluten free flour blend that has xanthan gum already added, but if it doesn't, it's not the end of the world! Simply buy xanthan gum separately from your local supermarket and add about 1/2 tsp to your recipe.
