Looking for an easy breakfast idea you can make in advance? These freezer-friendly, low FODMAP breakfast burritos will hit the spot!

Morning is… not my thing. Honestly, I’m basically brain-dead until about 10 AM. But in some terrible genetic mix-up, my body can’t function without a solid breakfast. So what’s a hungry zombie to do?

My solution so far, has been to stockpile breakfast foods I can make in advance. That way I have access to healthy and filling breakfasts during a time of day when my maximum mental capacity is whining “coffee” and “no talking” while wearing my PJ bottoms inside out.

So if you’re looking for something to launch your day with minimal to no effort, you should also be excited about these super easy low FODMAP breakfast burritos! These will help you be excited for the most important meal of the day…or so they say.

This recipe is freezer friendly! So I do a bit of meal planning on the weekend by popping the filling in the slow cooker and then freezing it in single servings. If you store the mix in an air-tight freezer-proof container, it will stay tasty for up to 3 months in your freezer.

I like to freeze my wraps as well, so I don’t have to worry about having fresh ones on hand. They last a similar amount of time in the freezer, so you’ll be good to go whenever it feels like a breakfast burrito kind of day.

To thaw your burrito, leave it in your fridge overnight or just pop it in the microwave in the morning. Feel free to add fresh toppings like low FODMAP salsa, shredded lettuce, fresh tomatoes, a low FODMAP serving of avocado, or whatever else sounds good to you.

If you’re a zombie like me, though, please ask a fully-awake adult to help you!

Keep it FODMAP friendly

Start your day on the right foot with one of these savoury low FODMAP breakfast burritos! Check out the notes below for tips on keeping this recipe FODMAP friendly!

First up on this list of low FODMAP ingredients is breakfast sausages. Since pork is a protein, it doesn’t have any FODMAPs. But you’ll need to check the label for other high FODMAP ingredients like onion, garlic, or “spices” which may not be low FODMAP.

If you like having sausage for breakfast, check out my low FODMAP breakfast sausages! You can make these in advance and enjoy them all week long. Or you can make a fresh batch and pop them in your slow cooker.

Heads up, I used my recipe to calculate the FODMAP math below. My recipe has no FODMAPs, so it won’t add anything to your FODMAP load.

Next up is potatoes. According to Monash University, potatoes don’t have any FODMAPs. So you can add a few extra if you want to stretch the filling so you get more servings.

You can also swap the potatoes for frozen hash brown or breakfast potatoes as long as they don’t have any high FODMAP seasonings added. Just make sure they’re thawed before you add them to the slow cooker.

Next up, milk. If you’re in the elimination phase of the program, you’ll need to use lactose-free milk. The instructions say 2%, but you can use whatever you have on hand.

We’ll also be using cheddar cheese. According to Monash, hard cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella are low FODMAP in servings of 1/4 cup (40 g) per sitting.

But this is based on dietary recommendations, not FODMAP content. Monash has determined that hard cheeses only have trace amounts of FODMAPs, so they won’t add anything notable to your FODMAP load.

Next up eggs. Just like meat, since eggs are a protein, they won’t add anything to your FODMAP load.

Last but not least, tortillas. Monash hasn’t listed tortillas in the app, yet, so I calculated this based on their recommendation for gluten-free bread.

According to Monash, gluten-free bread is low FODMAP in servings of 2 slices (52 g) per sitting. The average 6″ tortilla is around 34 grams, so you should be good to go.

Remember, unless you have celiac disease, we’re trying to manage the FODMAP fructan, not gluten itself.
