Low FODMAP, Grain Free Apple Cider Donuts
Growing up, apple picking was a fall tradition for my family. My parents would always take my younger brother and I to local orchards with family friends of ours at minimum once a season. I would always race to be the first to pick the BEST apple possible and would aim to also pick the MOST apples possible, because I am an Aries and competition is what we do.After a full day at the orchard, picking all the apples, enjoying hay rides, and maybe even a quick visit to the pumpkin patch, we would always stop at the farm store for some hot apple cider + melt in your mouth apple cider donuts. Truly, the donuts were the highlight of the day for each and every one of us. When I first began the low FODMAP diet to heal my gut, I thought my days of enjoying apple cider donuts were behind me. I had not yet started experimenting with recipes yet but knew that I was going gluten free for likely the rest of my life, so I began to write off some of my favorite high FODMAP treats too soon. Once I began playing around in the kitchen with low FODMAP recipes, well doors just started opening back up all over the place. Gluten free desserts ARE delicious and I'm here to continue to prove this to you over and over again! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. When I began the low FODMAP diet for the first time, I was also instructed by my doctor (and Monash University!) to avoid apples, which are high in FODMAPs in certain serving sizes. WHAT?! You've already taken away my apple cider donuts, now you're going to take away my apple PICKING too?! NOOOOO! ... Well, I have some good news for my fellow low FODMAP diet following friends: Granny Smith apples are low FODMAP friendly according to Monash University! Low FODMAP serving sizes exist for Pink Lady apples as well, but in general green apples are more low FODMAP friendly. Now, unfortunately this only goes for a portion of the apple according to testing, however always remember to listen to your own body. Does your gut do well when you consume apples? Cool, keep eating them! Symptoms flare? Skip them for now.The good news is, there are no actual apples in this recipe so if you're intolerant, fret not! You can still enjoy these low FODMAP friendly grain free apple cider donuts all you like, symptom free!Don't forget to let me know what you think of this recipe in the comments below + tag your pictures on Instagram + Facebook!Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
