Low FODMAP Lime Pudding with Maple Glaze

Bright, tangy, and finished with a glossy maple glaze, this baked pudding is the kind of dessert that feels genuinely special without requiring a pastry degree. The magic happens in the oven — the batter separates into a light, soufflé-like top and a soft, saucy layer underneath, so every spoonful delivers two textures at once. Fresh lime juice and zest give it a citrus punch that cuts right through the richness of the butter and milk, while the warm maple glaze adds just enough caramel sweetness to round everything out. For anyone managing digestive sensitivities, desserts can feel like a minefield, but every ingredient here has been kept within tested low FODMAP thresholds — the maple syrup is portioned to one tablespoon per serving, and gluten-free flour stands in seamlessly for all-purpose. Folding beaten egg whites into the batter is the one step that requires a little care, but the payoff is that impossibly airy texture that makes this pudding feel far more indulgent than it is. Serve it warm, straight from the ramekin, with a little extra lime zest on top if you want to lean into the citrus. It makes four servings and is the kind of thing guests will ask about long after the meal is over.
