Low FODMAP Berry Muffins

There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked goods filling your home – except for when said goods are low FODMAP! These berry muffins make for a delicious morning or afternoon tea snack, are a great lunchbox snack option for kids and can make a yummy dessert.
Many baking recipes call for high FODMAP ingredients such as wheat-based flour and lactose-rich milk, which can leave your sweet tooth satisfied but not your digestive system. In this recipe we used FODMAP Friendly certified low FODMAP ingredients, including the White Wings Gluten Free Plain Flour and Liddells Lactose Free Whole Milk. The addition of yoghurt makes these muffins moist and fluffy and is sure to leave you wanting more.
