Low-FODMAP Salted Caramel and Raspberry Buttercream Frosting Recipes; Gluten-free, Vegan

Print Friendly Version

What is your favorite part about a low-FODMAP Vanilla Cupcake?  The cake bottom? Or the frosting top?

I can’t deny that eating a perfect sized low-FODMAP mini-cake is absolute heaven (provided it is as moist as my low-FODMAP Vanilla Cupcakes or low-FODMAP Red Velvet Cupcakes).  But my true romance with a low-FODMAP cupcake is all about the frosting.  I love to mix it up too, try low-FODMAP Chocolate buttercream one day, and low-FODMAP Vanilla buttercream the next.

For this low-FODMAP cupcake baking extravaganza, I opted for a rainbow of frosting favorites!  Here you have the recipes for 2 of my most-requested low-FODMAP frostings…low-FODMAP Raspberry and low-FODMAP Salted Caramel ‘Butter’creams.  Super easy and so delicious.

You may also love my recipe for low-FODMAP Cream Cheese Frosting, low-FODMAP Opera Cream/Ermine or peruse over 300 more low-FODMAP recipes on the blog.  IBS-friendly!

Be healthy and happy,
