Keep It FODMAP Friendly
With a few easy adjustments, these low FODMAP sourdough waffles will brighten any brunch. Check out the tips below to keep this recipe FODMAP friendly.
First, if you’re in the elimination phase of the diet, you’ll need to use lactose-free milk. The fat content doesn’t matter for this recipe. So, use whatever you have on hand.
This pancake or waffle recipe also calls for a ton of melted butter. Don’t worry, though. Since butter is almost 100% fat, according to Monash University, it doesn’t have any FODMAPs.
It’s worth noting, though, that fat itself can be a gut irritant. So, if you’re sensitive to high-fat foods, cut two tbsp of butter and make these into sourdough pancakes instead.
Last but not least is wheat. Even though sourdough bread is low FODMAP, you’ll need to use gluten-free flour for this recipe.
In a traditional sourdough bread, the dough rises over a period of 24-48 hours. During this time, wild yeast breaks down the fructans in the wheat for food. We’re cheating and using active yeast to ferment the batter. This will create the tell-tale tang of sourdough bread, but, unfortunately, won’t lower the FODMAP content.

Take your breakfast or brunch to the next level with this delicious low FODMAP sourdough waffle recipe!
- 1 pkg active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 1.5 cups warm lactose-free milk (105 to 115 degrees F)
- 5 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
-
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
-
Place yeast in the bottom of a large heat-proof bowl and add warm water. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
-
Once the yeast has dissolved, whisk in the milk and butter. Followed by the flour and sugar. Continue whisking until a batter has formed, then cover the bowl with a damp towel. Place the towel-covered bowl in the oven and TURN IT OFF. The batter should rise in volume by at least half.
-
Stir the batter again to deflate it, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 3 hours (or overnight).
-
When you’re ready to make your waffles, let the batter stand at room temperature for 20 minutes while you heat your waffle iron. When the iron is ready, stir in the eggs and salt, pour the batter into the waffle iron in 1/4 cup batches, and cook according to your iron’s instructions (remember to grease your waffle iron if needed). Serve warm!
- Your yeast should create bubbles after sitting for 5-ish minutes in warm water. If it doesn’t, it isn’t active anymore, and you’ll have to start fresh.
- The batter can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours (Note the tangy flavour will increase the longer it sits).
