Low FODMAP Lemon Curd French Toast Bites
Low FODMAP Lemon Curd French Toast Bites
My friends, these low FODMAP lemon curd French toast bites are SO good! They have a creamy lemon curd filling wrapped in golden French toast and a crunchy cinnamon sugar crust.
These French toast bites have now become a date night favourite, they are also perfect for sharing with friends.
Cooking note: You can cook these in the air fryer to make them extra crispy or you can easily pan-fry them (they are still just as tasty).
Prep in advance: This recipe assumes you already have a batch of our low FODMAP lemon curd sitting in your fridge. If you don’t have this prepared already, you’ll need to make some first.

- Cut the crusts off the bread and lightly flatten the pieces using a rolling pin. Spread a tablespoon of lemon curd over each piece of bread. Then roll each slice of bread into a tube.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the cinnamon and sugar to make the cinnamon sugar.
- Air fryer cooking method: Dip the rolled bread in the egg mixture until each tube is coated on all sides. Put ⅔ of the cinnamon sugar in a shallow bowl and quickly roll each tube through the sugar. Place the tubes in the air fryer basket, seam side down, so they don’t unroll. Cook at 190ºC (375ºF) on air fry mode for 4 minutes. Once cooked, remove immediately from the air fryer and roll in the remaining cinnamon sugar. Cut each tube into 3 bite-sized pieces and enjoy. If you are in the first phase of the low FODMAP diet you can enjoy 6 French toast bites (this is the equivalent of 2 pieces of bread).
- Frypan cooking method: Heat a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Once hot, add a dollop of butter/dairy free spread. Dip each roll in the egg mixture until they are coated on all sides and place straight into the hot pan, seam side down, so they don’t unroll. Cook until each side is golden brown, adding more butter/dairy free spread to the pan if needed. Remove the French toast rolls from the pan once cooked and immediately roll through the cinnamon sugar while they are hot. Cut each tube into 3 bite-sized pieces and enjoy. If you are in the first phase of the low FODMAP diet you can enjoy 6 French toast bites (this is the equivalent of 2 pieces of bread)
- These low FODMAP lemon curd French toast bites are best served warm. You can enjoy up to 6 bites per serving.
