Halloween is basically a minefield if you're avoiding high FODMAP sweets — most "healthy" alternatives lean on honey, inulin or sugar alcohols, which just trade one problem for another. Here are two treats that are properly spooky and genuinely gut-friendly.
Chocolate "Eyeball" Protein Balls
Makes 10-12
- 2 scoops Blissful Raw Cacao Super Protein
- 150g rolled oats, blitzed to a fine flour
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp peanut butter (smooth)
- 2 tbsp cacao powder
- White chocolate chips and a little melted dark chocolate, to decorate
Mix everything except the decoration into a firm dough. Roll into balls, chill for 20 minutes, then press a white chocolate chip into each with a tiny dot of melted dark chocolate for the "pupil."
Graveyard Protein Pudding
Serves 2
- 1 scoop Blissful Raw Cacao Super Protein
- 200ml plant milk
- 1 tbsp cornflour (or 1 tsp chia seeds, for a thicker set)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- Crushed gluten-free digestive biscuits, for the "dirt"
- A few white chocolate squares, to shape into "tombstones"
Whisk the protein, milk, cornflour and maple syrup together and gently heat until thickened. Pour into glasses, top with crushed biscuit and a couple of chocolate "tombstones," and chill before serving.
Frequently asked questions
Can Halloween treats be low FODMAP?
Yes — the trick is swapping high FODMAP sweeteners like honey and inulin-based "healthy" chocolate for maple syrup and genuinely low FODMAP protein.
What can I give trick-or-treaters if I'm avoiding sugar and FODMAPs myself?
You don't need to make the whole house low FODMAP — these recipes are for your own treat stash so you're not left out of the fun.
