These low FODMAP carrot and corn fritters are packed full of veggies and make a delicious lunch time snack! These fritters can be served hot or cold and the batter will last several days in the fridge.

FODMAP Note On Sweet Corn: According to Monash University fresh sweet corn is low FODMAP in 1/4 cup (43g) serves, however it does become high FODMAP in larger serves so portion size is important.  This works out to be three fritters per person.

 

Recipe update: Please note that this recipe was updated on the 5th of March 2022 after Monash University changed the serving size recommendation for red pepper/capsicum.

  1. Grate the carrots, deseed and dice the red peppers, and measure out the corn kernels. Finely chop the chives and parsley.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and low FODMAP milk. Then mix in the flour, paprika and cumin. Stir through the corn, carrot, red peppers, chives and parsley until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place a large non-stick fry pan over medium heat and spray with oil. Spoon 1/4 cup mixture per fritter into the pan. Cook four to six fritters at a time - flattening them slightly so they are not too thick. Allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure you stir the mixture before cooking each batch.
  4. Serve three fritters per person.

Buying Tips

Buy a gluten free plain flour or gluten free all purpose flour. The one we used contains these ingredients: maize starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, rice bran, & guar gum. Avoid flour blends that contain soy flour, chickpea/besan/gram/garbanzo bean flour, lentil flour, coconut flour, amaranth flour, or lupin flour.

Low FODMAP milk options include lactose free milk, almond milk, hemp milk, macadamia milk, quinoa milk, rice milk (3/4 cup or less per serve), soy milk made from soy protein (not whole or hulled soybeans), UHT coconut milk (1/2 cup or less per serve).

Make sure your low FODMAP milk does not include high FODMAP ingredients like inulin (chicory root), agave syrup, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, molasses, or honey.

If using a dairy free alternative choose one that contains 120mg of calcium per 100ml serve, and 3g of protein per 100ml serve (this info is in the nutrition label).

Gluten Free Tips

Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
