Low FODMAP simple cornbread

Cornbread is the perfect comfort food. It’s soft on the inside, yet crunchy on the outside. It’s slightly sweet, yet also slightly salty. Let’s just say, I don’t know many people who don’t like cornbread! 

However, most cornbread recipes use a combination of wheat flour and cornmeal. This recipe is low FODMAP approved as it only contains cornmeal. 

Corn in the Low FODMAP Diet

Corn can be a bit confusing when following the low FODMAP diet. 

That’s because sweet corn on the cob and even canned corn kernels are considered high FODMAP foods. However, corn flour, corn starch, popcorn and baby corn are considered low FODMAP foods. Therefore, you are safe to eat many corn-products like corn tortilla chips and corn bread as long as you check the ingredients label for other potential FODMAP ingredients.

Corn Flour

You’ll want to have the right kind of corn flour for the right cornbread texture.

Ground up corn, also referred to as corn flour, can come in various forms. 

In the baking section of the grocery store, you may find corn grits, polenta, and cornmeal. These are all versions of dried and ground corn kernels, but they produce differences in texture. Make sure you pick out cornmeal that has the finest grind when making cornbread.
