Low FODMAP Cornbread Muffins

Add a lil’ southern charm to your meal with this a-maize-ing cornbread. These mouth-watering muffins pack a powerful punch to your tastebuds rather than to the gut. While sweet corn may be high in FODMAP, cornmeal is a gut-friendly ingredient that you can feel confident about eating. It’s a versatile pantry staple that can get transformed into familiar favorites such as polenta, grits, cookies, bread, and more. Plus, its fiber content can help improve both mealtime satiety and bathroom success, making it the ultimate win-win! Unlike store-bought alternatives, this recipe skips the symptom-triggering buttermilk or heavy cream and instead relies on plant-based alternatives. Stay in control of your IBS with cornbread that makes you go yes, yes, yes!
