Perfectly suited for your sensitive stomach, this mug cake combines the classic flavors of a doughnut with the nutritious benefits of protein, making it an ideal breakfast or snack for the holiday celebration.

Understanding Low FODMAP Ingredients

To create a delicious low FODMAP mug cake, it's essential to use ingredients that won't irritate your digestive system. Here's a breakdown of what you need to consider:

Choosing the Right Protein Powder

When selecting a protein powder, opt for Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder or similar low FODMAP options, like whey protein isolate, which has low lactose levels. Ensure it's verified to be low in additives that could trigger digestive issues. Look for well-tested products that explicitly say they are FODMAP-friendly.

Low FODMAP Sweeteners for the Mug Cake

For sweetening your mug cake, stick to options like table sugar or maple syrup in moderation. Avoid polyols (sugar alcohols) like sorbitol and xylitol, as they can have a laxative effect if consumed in excess. Sugar and maple syrup are effective and safe alternatives.

Other Essential Ingredients

Now that we've covered the essentials for low FODMAP flour and sweeteners, here are additional ingredients to complete your mug cake:

The Benefits of Cinnamon in Your Diet

Cinnamon isn't just a flavor enhancer: it's loaded with health benefits. This spice is low in FODMAPs and is associated with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Adding cinnamon to your low FODMAP mug cake not only amps up the flavor but contributes to your overall health.

Nutritional Advantages of a Protein Mug Cake

A protein mug cake is quite filling due to its high protein content, thanks to the Casa De Sante Low-FODMAP Protein Powder and eggs. Increased protein intake helps in managing hunger and provides a satiety effect, making it a smart choice for breakfast or a snack.
