When it comes to the low FODMAP diet–portion size matters! The Monash U. low FODMAP app may be very helpful for you to purchase to help with foods such as dried fruits that can be enjoyed in small portions while on the low FODMAP diet. The low FODMAP portion for dried cranberries is 1 TB–and this adds such a perfect flavor to these energy bites.

I thought dried fruits are a ‘no no’. Can you clarify why the dried cranberries are ok? I have found that limiting myself so much is making me crave things I shouldn’t eat at all, so the more I can eat the better!

I too had trouble with the balls, so I made “bars” in a shallow pan, cutting them into servings. Thanks for the inspiration, Kate!

Susan, If you don’t care to use any extract, you may leave it out.

As the difficulty rolling the balls, maybe wetting your hands while doing it may help. I’m sure to make these. Btw, I’m a fan of your Chicken Tumeric Soup and so are my kids. Thank you .

Have a great time in Vienna, Kate! I think you will find it easy to eat there and keep your gut feeling good. I was there over Thanksgiving and was pleasantly surprised to find lactose free milk in most of the cafés and yogurt everywhere breakfast is served. I was even able to eat the local brown bread and many of the cakes and pastries due to the different quality of flour and less sweetener used there. Feel good and enjoy this gorgeous city!

I agree Sherrie they are a bit difficult to roll into balls–using a scoop is a great idea. It depends on the size ball you make–you could get more or less…size matters! 🙂

I found they were difficult to roll into a ball so I used a tablespoon cookie scoop and it worked perfectly. I didn’t get 18 balls out of the mixture but that might have something to do with the “dough” I ate while measuring them out. They tasted wonderful from the bowl and I’m anxious to taste them once they’ve set. This will be another one of your delicious recipes to add to my collection. Thanks!

Of course, just leave them out. You could add 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds instead–or just remove the seed component altogether.
