If you’ve started Low FODMAP Diet, you might be wondering if it ever gets easier to say “no” to high FODMAP treats. It can be hard to stay focused on our health when well-meaning friends and family offer us things we can’t have. Especially since, more often than not, we do want what they’re offering.
For me, the easiest way to say “no” to temptation is to say “yes” to something else. When it comes to sweet treats, my yes is usually these low FODMAP chocolate chip cookies.
These low FODMAP chocolate chip cookies are one of my absolute favourite treats. They come together in 5 minutes and taste amazing. They’re also freezer-friendly, so I normally make a few batches at a time. This way, I have them handy for “emergencies.” Note, I use the term emergency loosely when it comes to cookies.

Keep it FODMAP friendly
These low FODMAP chocolate chip cookies are a great way to keep your sweet tooth in check. Check out the notes below for some tips and tricks to keep them low FODMAP.
First, if you’re in the elimination phase of the program, you need to use gluten-free flour. Remember, unless you have celiac disease, you’re not avoiding the gluten, but rather the FODMAP fructan.
For my Canadian peeps, I normally use PC all-purpose gluten-free flour. I like it because I can use it cup for cup and it doesn’t have any gums.
This recipe also uses butter. Even though it’s made with milk, according to the Monash app, butter doesn’t have any FODMAPs (because it’s made of fat). This means you’ll be ok using regular butter.
Finally, you’re going to need some chocolate chips. Most chocolate chips are made with too much lactose to be FODMAP friendly. I use Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips. They’re made with cocoa and coconut oil and are wheat, dairy, and soy-free.
FODMAP math
Lactose = 0
Fructan = 0.12
GOS = 0
Polyols = 0
