Sometimes I find myself searching in the pantry for a low-FODMAP sweet treat and feel frustrated that I have nothing easy to grab. My low-FODMAP Mug Cakes (like my low-FODMAP Pumpkin Mug Cake, low-FODMAP Chocolate Mug Cake and low-FODMAP PB & J Mug Cake) usually fill that void. But sometimes I crave a low-FODMAP Chocolate Chip Cookie.
So I created a low-FODMAP 5 Minute microwave chocolate chip cookie recipe. For those times when you just want to have one. How can you say no to a warm, melty, rich and delicious low-FODMAP Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Now you can enjoy this low-FODMAP Chocolate Chip Microwave Cookie too. This low-FODMAP recipe results in an ooey, gooey sweet and moist low-FODMAP Chocolate Chip Cookie in under 5 minutes! So easy. Make it in a mug or a ramekin- it works either way.

Five Minute Low-FODMAP Chocolate Chip Microwave Cookie; Gluten-free
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using FODMAP data at time of posting)
Serves: 1-2
Prep time: 2 minutes
Cook time: About 1 minute
Equipment: Microwave, mug or ramekin
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 tbsp low-FODMAP, gluten-free flour (I use Authentic Foods GF Classical Blend for best results- see my low-FODMAP bake off blog for my reasons!)
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 2 tablespoons (about 30 g) semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Melt butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds, then set aside
- In a bowl or mug, place egg yolk and 2 sugars and mix well to combine
- Add butter and all remaining ingredients except chocolate chips and combine well.
- Stir in chocolate chips (reserving a few for sprinkling if desired), and give a final stir
- Mixture should look like cookie dough
- Add a few chocolate chips to the top of the low-FODMAP cookie dough if you like
- Cook in microwave 40-60 seconds
- Mine took the full minute
- If you like your low-FODMAP cookies a little undercooked, then adjust as necessary
- Serve immediately, top with low-FODMAP Ice Cream or low-FODMAP Whipped Cream
- Do you want the next bite? 😉

I haven’t made them yet but I’m sure they are good, hence the 5 stars. But I’m wondering if the xanthan gum is a necessary ingredient?
Hi Jon!
Thanks for the question, and we appreciate the stars 🙂
Since there is such a scant amount of flour in the recipe, it is likely the cookie will still turn out great without the xanthan gum. We haven’t tried it that way but please let us know if you do!!
Have a wonderful day.
I did it tonight without xanthium gum and it was delicious!!
Liesl,
Thank you so much! Glad to have the feedback 🙂
AMAZING
Day two of this elimination diet and this was sent by the goddess herself. I was feeling so down about everything until stumbling upon this. Ate the entire thing and my only complaint was that there wasn’t more!

Love this but kinda crumbly
I loved this recipe my only issue was that it came out crumbly which I don’t mind but are we suppose to let this set for a few mins?
Hi Annie,
All gluten-free flours behave differently, so if you did not use the same flour as we did, then it could be crumbly. Also, in general, microwaves will continue cooking your food for a short while after they stop. Its not a bad idea to let your food sit for a minute to continue the cooking process. However, we can’t say if that’s the reason for crumbling, because it may actually be that you slightly overcooked the cookie, rather than undercooked it. Experiment with your microwave oven, as they vary considerably in their power levels. Thanks for your comments!
Awesome!!!
I am new to the low FodMap diet and miss my chocolate chip cookies!! This was the next best thing!!! Thank you for sharing 🙂
