FODMAP Notes
Soy flour from soy protein (not whole soybeans) is low FODMAP. Blueberries are safe up to 1/4 cup per serving - the compote is portioned appropriately. Lactose-free milk with lemon juice mimics buttermilk without FODMAPs.
Tips
- 💡 Make compote ahead and reheat for serving
- 💡 The batter rest time helps create fluffier pancakes
