Low FODMAP Alternative Use strawberries and substitute honey for maple syrup. Keep portion size to 1-2 small slices as large quantities of blackbeans and chocolate are high in FODMAPs.

Vegan Alternative
Choose a dairy free/vegan dark chocolate.  Substitute honey for maple/rice malt syrup.  Substitute eggs with egg replacements or flex eggs – Note: cooking time may vary with egg alternatives.
