Great for breakfast, dessert, or a snack—without causing bloating.
Ingredients Needed:
- 2 cups low FODMAP all-purpose flour: certified gluten-free and FODMAP-safe.
- 2 tsp baking powder: helps them rise.

- ¾ cup sugar: sweetens the muffins.
- ½ cup Low FODMAP chocolate chips: lactose-free or dairy-free (like Enjoy Life).
- 1 large egg: room temperature.
- 1 cup lactose-free milk: or almond milk (under ½ cup per serving).
