    This low FODMAP granola is packed with whole-grain oats, crunchy walnuts for a boost of healthy fats, and fiber-rich chia seeds.

    Many granola recipes are sweetened with honey. Honey tends to be higher in FODMAPs. Although it can be included on the low FODMAP diet in small amounts.

    Instead of honey, I’ve used lower FODMAP maple syrup in this recipe. It adds a nice flavor to the granola while keeping FODMAPs in check.

    I hope you enjoy this easy low FODMAP granola as much as I do! It’s made with just 6 ingredients in about 35 minutes.

    Ingredients needed for this granola are measured out and placed into white bowls of various sizes

We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you.

      This looks AMAZING! Is there something that I can use instead on coconut oil? I am not a fan of the coconut flavor

        Hi Marsha, a neutral-flavored oil like canola or grapeseed oil should work, too! Best, -Em

        Thanks, Dev! A serving is a little more than 1/3 cup … at least until FODMAP tolerance is known. Best, -Em

      An excellent basic low FODMAP granola recipe! I made half the recipe so I wouldn’t feel like I wasted ingredients if I was reactive and couldn’t eat it. Subbed ground flaxseed for the chia seeds and extra virgin olive oil for the coconut oil and baked for 35 minutes. I like a bit of that burnt taste to my granola. I ate 1/4 cup with no issues. Can’t wait to slowly add dried berries and cacao nibs to this later! Thanks for sharing!

        Thank YOU! Love the idea of adding dried berries and cacao nibs later (as tolerated). Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
