    Low FODMAP Pumpkin Cookies – A  fall-inspired sweet treat with just a hint of pumpkin and vanilla.

    It’s no secret the low FODMAP diet can feel a little restrictive at times. That’s why my goal here on Fun Without FODMAPs is to provide lots of different options, so you can have more fun while going through this experiment.

    Here, you’ll find recipes that might be comfort foods, kid-friendly, vegetarian, paleo, dairy free, etc. You’ll also find recipes for treats because we all want to (and should) indulge every once in a while. 🙂

    These yummy Low FODMAP Pumpkin Cookies are my fall indulgence. They kind of have a soft shortbread-type taste and consistency. And, they’re absolutely delicious with coffee. 🙂

    P.S. Because this recipe does make 56 cookies, I like to freeze most of them once they’re cooled and save them for later.

      Along with being gluten free and lactose free, I now have to completely avoid rice, so Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 is a no-go for me. I do have flour blends without rice flour though, but they don’t all work the same. I guess I will try this with the Better Batter Artisan Flour. And hope I don’t have to toss anything I make. Thank you though. Your recipes are great for the very low fodmap stage that I am using to eliminate my probable IBS on top of all my other stuff.

      Hi Em:
      So glad to have found you!
      Can you use Ghee or butter alternative in this?
      Thanks!

      Hi! I’m in the elimination phase of the fodmap diet and we’re just days away from Halloween and I still haven’t taste pumpkin this season!!
      I would love to make these, but I only have almond flour…can I use that instead? Thanks for the recipes!

        Hi Meghan! To be completely honest, I’m not sure if almond flour would work. Almond flour has different properties, like a higher fat content, than flour. So, my guess is that the taste and texture would be quite different and the recipe may need to be adjusted. The FODMAP content might also change, as a low FODMAP serving of almond flour/meal is 1/4 cup.
