  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) bake function. 
  2. Finely chop the green tips of the green onions/scallions. Grate the cheese.
  3. Mix the cornmeal, gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and dried sage together in a large bowl. Then add the green tips of the green onions/scallions and cheese.
  4. Melt the butter or dairy free spread, then generously grease the base of a 25cm (10 inch) oven proof frypan (skillet). Place the rest of the butter or dairy free spread in a separate bowl and whisk through the low FODMAP milk & FODMAPPED Pumpkin & Sage soup.
  5. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until well combined. Then scoop the bread batter into the skillet and spread evenly.
  6. Place in the oven and cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  7. Serve warm with a side of butter or dairy free spread.

 

Reheating tip: Cornbread leftovers are great for lunch or breakfast. This bread is best served warm so heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds before serving.

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.

Buy a bunch of spring onions/scallions with long green leaves. You can use the green leaves in your low FODMAP meals, just make sure you avoid using the white stem and lime green stems as these are high FODMAP. Once you've harvested the leaves pop the spring onion/scallion bulbs into a glass of water on the window sill. The leaves will reshoot so you can harvest them again.

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).

Check the vegan cheese does not include onion, garlic, inulin or coconut flour in the ingredients. Cheddar, Colby, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses made from dairy are all low FODMAP.

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.

Dairy Free Tips

Use a dairy free spread or olive oil spread instead of butter. Butter is considered low FODMAP.
