Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of low-FODMAP, gluten-free good quality bread, or 6 sliced rolls*
- 3/4 cup (63g) almond meal*
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or low-FODMAP milk, optional for consistency
- 6 teaspoons strawberry, or raspberry jam or marmalade; divided*
- 1/3 cup (30g) sliced almonds, raw*
- Confectioner’s sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F; and line a large baking sheet with silicone liners, or parchment paper. Lay your bread slices or cut buns on the baking sheet
- In a medium bowl, beat together the almond meal, butter, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg by hand, or with a hand mixer. Add in the heavy cream or LF milk, if needed, until smooth. It should be a thick paste
- Spread each slice of bread thinly with the jam or marmalade, then thickly portion the almond cream over each of the pieces
- Sprinkle with the sliced almonds
- Bake, for approximately 15 minutes until golden
- Allow to cool about 5-10 minutes then dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving
Notes
- Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients
- I used Canyon Bakehouse sweet brioche rolls for this recipe (these are the best GF brioche I can find). Be aware that the almond cream will melt into the bread. Therefore, selecting a denser option would be best for this recipe (see my notes above about sourdough and low-FODMAP as well!)
- Almond meal is low-FODMAP in 1/3 cup (33g) servings
- Almonds are low-FODMAP in 12g servings, maximum serving of 60g per FODMAP Friendly
- Select a jam or marmalade without high fructose corn syrup (I like Smucker’s Natural). You can also use my low-FODMAP Strawberry or Raspberry Coulis, or Rhubarb jam!
- Butter is naturally low in FODMAPs due to low carbohydrate levels
