Smoky Bacon Gouda Pizza (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

My gluten-free crust is so good, whatever you put on top already has a head start on being delicious! This Smoky Bacon Gouda Pizza is full of fall flavor with bacon, gouda, and even a touch of pumpkin in the sauce. Each bite is a savory celebration of smoky seasoning, cheesy goodness, and the subtle hint of pumpkin. Get ready to savor the essence of the season with this irresistibly flavorful and gluten-free pizza.

Ingredients: Crust

3⁄4 cup warm water (105 – 110 degrees F)

1 tablespoon sugar

1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)

2 cups gluten-free flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1)

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 large egg

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar works too)

2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil (or regular)

Additional olive oil for spreading the dough

Ingredients: Topping

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (or you can use tomato sauce if you prefer)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)

1 tablespoon low FODMAP hot sauce

1 cup chopped kale

1/2 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

1 1/2 cups grated gouda cheese

4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and chopped

Chopped cilantro, green onion greens, and just a drizzle of honey (optional) for serving

Directions

(1) Prepare: Set pizza stone or cookie sheet on the lower rack of the oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grate the cheese. Cook the bacon and chop it into small pieces. Line a cookie sheet (without edges) with parchment paper.

(2) Prove the yeast: Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl and let sit for 2-3 minutes until it begins to froth.

(3) Make the dough: Combine flour, salt, and dried basil in a large bowl. Add in the egg, olive oil, vinegar, and yeast mixture.

Stir until the flour is combined and the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Don’t add more flour – the dough is supposed to be a bit sticky. Transfer the dough to the prepared cookie sheet with the parchment paper.

(4) Form the dough: Using your fingers dipped in olive oil, press and push the dough out into a round or rectangle. This part takes a bit of patience but keep pressing the dough out across the parchment. It will be a bit sticky so keep dipping your fingers in olive oil and keep pressing the dough out until it’s all about the same thickness and in the shape you want. The surface of your crust doesn’t have to be smooth, your toppings will be covering it anyway. I like to spread it out fairly thin so I have more room to add toppings! You can roll the edges under if you like a thicker edge.

(5) First bake: Before adding any toppings, pre-bake the crust. Transfer the crust on the parchment to the hot pizza stone or cookie sheet in the oven and cook for 8 minutes.

(6) Make the sauce: Combine pumpkin (or tomato sauce), chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic salt, hot sauce (if using) and stir well to combine.

(7) Add toppings: Remove the crust from the oven and spread about half the pumpkin/tomato mixture on the crust. Use just enough to cover the pizza crust but don’t create a thick layer (save the extra for another pizza). Top with Kale, both grated cheeses, and the bacon pieces.

(8) Bake: Slide the pizza on the parchment paper back onto the hot pizza stone or cookie sheet in the oven and cook for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the crust is starting to brown.

(9) Plate and serve: Remove from the oven onto a cutting board then slice and serve while it’s still nice and hot topped with chopped cilantro, green onion greens, and an optional (but very delicious) light drizzle of honey (1 teaspoon of honey is low FODMAP serving).

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 10 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Makes 12 Sandwiched Cookies

Experience the best of two worlds with my delicious Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies—a delightful fusion of classic buttery oatmeal cookies and the indulgent richness of chocolate. Each bite promises just the right amount of each. Get ready to embark on a yummy journey of taste where the rustic charm of oatmeal cookies meets the decadent taste of chocolate in every delightful bite.

Ingredients

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon corn syrup (see recipe note)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

1/4 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 egg white

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Directions

(1) Prepare: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

(2) Melt the butter and sugar: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter together with the brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, until the sugar dissolves and starts to look like caramel. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the corn syrup and vanilla, and keep whisking until smooth and glossy. Add the oats, almond flour, and salt stirring until well combined. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in the egg white. Let the dough sit for 10 minutes to thicken. 

(3) Bake: Drop a heaping teaspoon-size amount of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches of space between each one. Bake for 7-9 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cook completely. 

(4) Melt the chocolate: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or large measuring cup. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring once the chocolate has really started to melt. Keep heating and stirring just until the chocolate is smooth when you stir it.

(5) Sandwich the cookies: Put a dollop of melted chocolate on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it together with another cookie of similar shape/size. Continue until all cookies have been paired and sandwiched.

(6) Plate and serve: Let sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate if you’re in a hurry. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted. 

Recipe note: Please use Karo brand corn syrup, which contains no high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS is high in FODMAPS). 

When you are following a low FODMAP diet, overconsumption of sugar of any sort is not recommended. So, even though you may want to eat the whole pan of treats, cut them into squares and eat only one to allow yourself a treat without triggering your IBS symptoms. And, if you are highly sensitive to fructose, you may not be able to tolerate any sweet desserts. You are your own best judge of your tolerance for any potential IBS trigger.

Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake (Low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 9 Hours cook/chill • Low FODMAP • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

This Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake has the perfect harmony of rich creaminess and just the right amount of sweetness. The velvety texture of cream cheese blends seamlessly with the tangy flavor of sour cream, creating a truly delicious filling that sits atop a buttery graham cracker crust. Whether you're entertaining guests or simply treating yourself, this Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake is a perfect choice because it’s easy to make, you can make it ahead of time, and it’s low FODMAP so everyone at the table can enjoy it.

Ingredients: Crust

1 1/2 cups gluten-free graham crackers (about 1 sleeve), ground into crumbs

6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Ingredients: Cheesecake

16 ounces lactose-free cream cheese, at room temperature

16 ounces lactose-free sour cream, at room temperature

1 cup superfine white sugar (you can also use granulated sugar and be sure to blend very well)

3 eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste or any other flavoring of your choice

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs to room temperature. Melt the butter.

(2) Make the graham cracker crumbs: In the bowl of your food processor, add the graham crackers. Pulse on and off until all crackers have turned to crumbs. You can also do this by putting the graham crackers in a ziploc bag and using a rolling pin or heave glass to crunch them up.

(3) Make the crust: Drizzle the melted butter over the cracker crumbs in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until all crumbs and butter are combined. You can also combine butter and crumbs in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. Pour the crumbs into the bottom of a 7 - 9-inch springform pan and pat them with your fingers to make an even layer or make it slightly thicker at the edges if you prefer.

(4) Bake the crust: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the crust has dried out and begins to brown just a bit. Remove from the oven and set aside.

(5) Make the filling: In the bowl of your food processor or stand mixer, combine cream cheese and sour cream and blend until completely smooth. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla and blend well but don’t whip air into the mixture. Scrape down the sides to ensure all sugar and eggs are blended into the cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the pan gently so as not to disturb the crumb crust.

(6) Bake: Put in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven. Don’t open the oven door. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for one hour. Remove and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (more is fine).

(7) Plate and serve: Run a knife around the edge of the pan and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cake and serve with fresh berries or your favorite topping.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Flourless Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Ganache (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 8 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-6

I know I’ve published flourless chocolate cake before but when I discover an even better recipe, well, I just have to share! Get ready for the best chocolate cake of your life. This flourless chocolate cake, topped with a deeply chocolatey ganache, is the epitome of decadence. Rich, gluten-free, and irresistibly delicious, it's the perfect dessert to elevate any celebration to a whole new level.

Ingredients: Cake

1 cup  semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate

1/2 cup unsalted butter

3/4 cup granulated sugar or superfine sugar

1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or hazelnut extract

3 large eggs lightly beaten

1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder

Ingredients: Chocolate Ganache

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate

1/2 cup heavy cream

Powdered sugar and raspberries for serving

Other optional toppings: my real whipped cream, my whipped coconut cream, or lactose-free ice cream.

Directions

(1) Prepare: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch round springform cake pan or standard 8-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray (I like this coconut oil cooking spray for baking). Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment (I love these pre-cut 8-inch parchment rounds) and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. 

(2) Melt the butter and chocolate: Put the chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30-second intervals until the butter is melted and the chocolate is soft, about 60 - 90 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. If you need to reheat, do so in 10-second intervals. Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth and combined.

(3) Add the remaining ingredients: Lightly beat the eggs and add them to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and stir until just combined. Don't over-mix. 

(4) Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes or until the cake has a thin crust on the top and the center registers 200 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan by running a butter knife around the edge. Carefully remove the springform pan sides, or if using a non-springform pan, carefully turn it upside down onto a serving plate. The bottom of the cake will now be the top of the cake. Let the cake cool completely. 

(5) Make the Chocolate Ganache: While the cake is cooling, make the chocolate ganache. Combine the chocolate and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the cream is quite hot so it will melt the chocolate, about 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave, and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. 

(6) Finish: Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set up for a few hours before cutting and serving. You can put it in the refrigerator to speed up the process. 

(7) Plate and serve: Just before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar and add the raspberries to the top. Cut the cake into slices and serve. This cake is also great with my real whipped cream, my whipped coconut cream, or lactose-free ice cream.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

S’mores Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting (low FODMAP)

20 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Makes 12 - 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-4

There’s something about cupcakes that is just fun! Add to that the pleasure of s’mores and these cupcakes take the fun (and deliciousness) to a whole new level! It’s the combination of everything you love about s’mores (chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers) but without the sand or the sticky fingers. These are best served soon after they come out of the oven so you can make the cupcakes ahead, but save the frosting and the finishing for the last hour before serving. Make them for a party or you might be tempted to eat them all yourself! I used a good gluten-free chocolate cake mix for the cupcakes in this recipe to keep it simple — since the frosting is a little more elaborate. Of course, you can make the cake from scratch if you prefer!

Ingredients: Chocolate Cupcakes

1 King Arthur Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix

2/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1 1/3 cups water

4 large eggs

Ingredients: Swiss Meringue Frosting

3 large egg whites

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup (not high-fructose corn syrup)

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ingredients: Topping

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil

1/2 cup gluten-free graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Directions: Cupcakes

(1) Prepare: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put cupcake liners (I like these parchment tulip liners) into two cupcake pans that make 12 cupcakes each (for a total of 24).

(2) Melt the coconut oil: In the microwave, melt the coconut oil until it’s pourable but not hot.

(3) Blend the batter: Beat the eggs together with the melted coconut oil and water. Stir in the cake mix and keep stirring until well blended.

(4) Bake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared cupcake pans. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Directions: Frosting and Finishing

(5) Prepare the meringue for the frosting: Add the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, cream of tartar, salt, and water to the bowl of a stand mixer and place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water over medium heat. Do not allow the bottom of the mixing bowl to touch the water.

(6) Heat and blend the mixture: Continuously, but gently, stir the mixture until the egg whites are very warm to the touch and the sugar has dissolved, about 4 minutes. Test this by dipping a finger into the mixture and rubbing it between your fingers—the mixture should no longer have any grains of sugar in it and should be very warm to the touch. Remove the bowl from the heat and place the bowl on the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

(7) Beat the egg white mixture: Beat the meringue on medium-low speed until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually increase the speed and beat until you achieve a stiff peak in the mixture that droops only slightly when you lift up the whisk, and the bottom and sides of the bowl no longer feel warm to the touch, about 4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat for a few seconds to mix it in.

(8) Frost the cupcakes: Use a spoon, spatula, or broad knife to generously frost each cupcake. Make one big swirl or many little “points” in the meringue with your knife as you frost.

(9) Brown the frosting: Lightly brown the frosting using a kitchen torch or by placing the frosted cupcakes under the broiler briefly, until browned. Watch them carefully (just like roasting a marshmallow) so they don’t burn!

(10) Finish: Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave. Crumble the graham crackers into crumbs. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, drizzle with the melted chocolate, and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs (so they cling to the melted chocolate).

(11) Plate and serve: The frosted cupcakes are best served within a few hours, as the frosting will start to lose its structure over time, but any leftovers will keep on the counter lightly covered for up to 1 day.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

30-Minute One-Pan Keto Veggie Bake (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Vegetarian Option • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-2

It all started because I had chicken left over from the Buttery Sage One-Pan Company Chicken dinner I published recently. What to do with this delicious chicken? So, I set about to create the most wonderful combination of buttery vegetables, seasonings, and really flavorful cheese (it was so good, the chicken became totally optional!) For the cheese, I used the sharp cheddar and havarti I had left from a recent cheeseboard, but you can use any cheese you like! This comes together in one pan in 30 minutes or less and it’s the perfect combination of comfort food, plenty of plants, and really excellent flavor.

California Style Joe’s Special (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 • Ok to make ahead: Step 1

Whether you live anywhere near San Francisco or not, you’ve probably heard of Joe’s Special! According to local San Francisco history, Joe's Special was created at New Joe's restaurant in San Francisco’s North Beach district in 1937. All the recipes for Joe’s Special include ground beef, spinach, and eggs. It’s not fancy, but it makes a great breakfast, brunch, or main dish for a light supper. Of course, I can never use a recipe without adding my own personal spin to it—hence this Low FODMAP, low starch, California Style Joe’s Special. I love it with some low FODMAP hot sauce or ketchup but any way you serve it, it’s delicious!

Ingredients

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil

1 tablespoon salted butter

1 pound lean ground beef (organic grass-fed preferred)

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

1/2 cup green onion greens finely chopped (or a combination of green onion greens, chives, and/or leek greens)

2 (5-ounce) bags of fresh baby spinach leaves (long stems removed, roughly chopped or whole)

OR: 1 (10-ounce) package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

2 teaspoons Smoke n Sanity Beyond Italian Seasoning

OR: 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 - 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (or other aged cheese of your preference)

1/2 ripe avocado (optional for serving)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for serving)

Low FODMAP hot sauce or Smoke N Sanity Ketchup (optional for serving)

Directions

(1) Prepare: Beat the eggs in a small bowl and set aside. Wash, dry, remove long stems, and roughly chop the spinach. Chop the green onion greens (and leeks and chives if using). Grate the cheese. Set all aside. If using frozen spinach, squeeze as much liquid out of the frozen and thawed spinach as possible.

(2) Cook the meat: Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly. Add salt and pepper. Add the green onion greens (and leeks and/or chives if using), and cook until the onion greens are tender but not browned.

(3) Add the spinach: Stir in the spinach, and Italian seasoning (or basil, and oregano). If using fresh spinach, cook until the spinach wilts.

(4) Add the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the beef/spinach mixture. Let cook until the eggs are set, stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes. Once set, stir and toss the mixture to blend the eggs throughout. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Add the red pepper flakes (if using).

(5) Add the cheese: Spread the meat and spinach mixture into one uniform layer in the pan. If using, sprinkle the cheese on top and put the whole pan into the oven under the broiler. Watch carefully and remove after the cheese is melted to your liking.

(6) Plate and serve: Serve a generous scoop of the mixture onto each plate with sliced avocado on top and hot sauce or ketchup alongside.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.

Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Low FODMAP)

25 Minutes prep • 12 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Makes 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-8

Big, delicious, good old-fashioned, chewy oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites. The chocolate chips are the “icing on the cake” in this recipe. These cookies are simple to make and so good when they are hot out of the oven. They also store well — if you’re lucky enough to have a few left over. Keep them in an airtight container or freeze them and let them thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Dark Chocolate, Espresso, and Coconut Mini Muffins (Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 25 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Makes 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-5

Deep dark chocolate. A hint of coconut. Rich chocolate chips. And zucchini! These mini muffins are so delicious the whole family will love them. And don’t let the “mini” size fool you, the flavor is intense enough that one mini muffin is the right amount! You make them all in one bowl so clean up is easy. Don’t want to eat them all at once? They freeze beautifully and thaw quickly at room temperature. I used cacao and cacao nibs (along with the chocolate chips) in this recipe for some added gut biome benefit, but you can use regular cocoa with the chocolate chips and they will be equally delicious.

Creamy Chocolate Coconut Nut Butter (Low FODMAP)

10 Minutes prep • 15 Minutes rest • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Dairy-free • Serving size 3 tablespoons • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3

This creamy and delicious nut butter with cacao and coconut blended together with macadamia nuts and pecans makes a perfect combination of flavor and health benefits! It has the essence of chocolate and coconut without being overly sweet and it’s loaded with protein, fiber, and good stuff for your gut! I tried it on sourdough toast and seed crackers but it was so good, I just wanted to eat it with a spoon! You can use cocoa or cacao but the cacao will likely have more of the beneficial compounds for your gut. It’s delicious without any sweetening at all but you may want to add some maple syrup if you like a sweeter blend.

Preacher Cookies (No-Bake, Low FODMAP)

15 Minutes prep • 30 Minutes chill • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Makes 24 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-5

Preacher cookies were so named because they could be quickly made when the Preacher stopped by for an unexpected visit. Maybe a little old-fashioned, they are a sweet and chewy cookie that can be whipped up in a jiffy. And, if it’s too hot to turn on the oven and you want to make a batch of cookies—these are a great choice! I made them with oats and coconut, but you could switch it up and make them with oats and peanut butter instead. Either way, they’re delicious.
