For the cake
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
Ingredient noteA serving of up to about 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/8 tablespoon per serving, making it likely fine for most people. If you prefer to always avoid ground flaxseed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
