Low FODMAP Tip: If you are following low FODMAP for SIBO, you are likely avoiding refined sugars. Stock your pantry with unrefined sugars like granulated monk fruit, coconut sugar, and powdered monk fruit sugar. These are the perfect 1 to 1 substitutes for white sugar, brown sugar, and powdered sugar.
Why You Should Heat Treat Flour
Honestly, heat treating flour was a new concept for me until I started doing more research on edible cookie dough. Turns out, flour can actually contain bacteria that can be harmful, which if you are someone dealing with SIBO or Candida is not going to be an ideal thing for you to eat.
Heat treating flour is very simple, takes just a few minutes, and is the best way to ensure that the gluten free cookie dough buttercream is safe + delicious.
How To Heat Treat Flour
- Pre-heat oven to 350F.
- On a baking sheet, add flour, in this case 1/2 cup, and bake 3-5 minutes in order to kill off any potential lingering bacteria in the flour.
