Ingredients

For the low-FODMAP cinnamon swirl middle:

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (if not in your low-FODMAP flour choice already)
  • 1 cup low-FODMAP gluten free flour (I used Authentic Foods GF classic blend- my preferred baking flour due to my bake-off blog results!)
  • ½ to ¾ cup chopped pecans (optional)

For the low-FODMAP coffee cake:

  • 2 cups low-FODMAP gluten free flour (I used Authentic Foods GF classic blend)
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup full fat (for best results) greek yogurt or lactose-free sour cream or lactose-free plain yogurt (note: greek yogurt contains some lactose, depending on brand used.  Test your tolerance to this prior to incorporating)
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil (I used canola)

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F

  • Place flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt in a bowl and mix together
  • In a second bowl with stand or hand mixer on medium-high beat eggs
  • Slowly add sugar to blended eggs until cream colored and light
  • Add the combined flour mixture into egg/sugar mixture, then the low-FODMAP yogurt, vanilla, and oil, and beat with electric mixer on medium for 30 seconds
    • Careful not to over-beat
  • Spoon half the low-FODMAP coffee cake batter into pan

  • Add the cinnamon swirl mixture over top of half the low-FODMAP coffee cake batter
  • Place the other half of the batter in the pan over the cinnamon swirl mixture
