Pretty Delicious Life Grain Free Low FODMAP PB&J Muffins
I finally decided to venture back out to our local farmer's market a few weekends ago to get some inspiration and produce for a client project. I told myself I'd go, get exactly what I needed and head home but mostly I knew I'd end up completely ignoring myself. Sure enough, the moment I arrived I knew I was going home with our week's worth of groceries! There weren't as many vendors this year but I was happy to see one farm was set up with multiple booths, a really quick and easy socially distant shopping experience, and more delicious looking produce than I knew how to handle. The first thing to catch my eye were these gorgeous, juicy, bright purple Concord grapes and I just knew I had to have them! I honestly don't think I've ever had a Concord grape before, outside of grape juice as a kid, but they were so pretty and seemed to be calling my name so I added them to my haul and went home.
Once I got home, I bit into one and immediately knew I had to make some sort of PB&J themed recipe. These juicy little globes taste JUST like grape jam... which duh of course they do because that's what grape jam is made of! I took to Google for some inspiration. I had purchased a whole chicken at the farmer's market, too and was thinking maybe I'd add them to the roast, which I probably will still do, but something about that didn't feel right. I had no clue what to do with them but just knew whatever I did had to end up a low FODMAP recipe that was also a grain free recipe.
Taking a step back, the idea hit me like a ton of bricks. MUFFINS! I will make a grain free recipe for peanut butter and jelly muffins! Grapes are an amazing fruit to have around especially if you are following low FODMAP and want to make low FODMAP recipes requiring fruit at home, which honestly I had never thought of until now but I'm definitely going back for more Concord grapes next weekend! I'm thinking I might try to develop a grain free pie recipe using Concord grapes because how decadent would THAT be?! Or maybe some grain free pie bars?! I'm having a moment with pie bars these day.
Anyway, PB+J muffins are the simple, easy breakfast I didn't know I needed and I promise your whole family will love them!
Don't have Concord grapes available? You could absolutely sub in blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries instead!
