Pancakes with Cinnamon Nut Sauce

Pancakes are already one of the best dishes, and the addition of a cinnamon nut sauce elevates them even further. Deliciously nutty, a little sweet, these pancakes work well with your favourite toppings like fresh berries, or even some banana. Strawberries are a wonderful low FODMAP fruit as they can be eaten freely due to no FODMAPs detected. Blueberries and raspberries are suitable at ¼ cup due to containing fructans. If using ripe banana, a low FODMAP serve is ⅓ of a medium sized banana.
