The Video
I have shown you many photos of our lovely Baltic cruise but I didn’t tell you the very best thing about the cruise, I explain what it was in the video.
The Recipe
Processed foods are always a bit dicey with irritable bowel syndrome so I am always experimenting with different baked goods including breads and crackers. This recipe started off as an attempt at a cracker but ended up as more of a biscuit. I wanted something with our usual glass of wine on a Friday night and I used what I had in the pantry. That doesn’t always have a successful ending but these ones got the thumbs up from Adriano so I guess they pass muster. I think they would be best fresh and still a little warm and so could probably be re-heated later to restore them to their former glory but they were all eaten so I am not sure on that point.
Just a word about chickpeas. We can have 1/4 cup of canned chickpeas on the low Fodmap diet so the amount of flour in each of the biscuits will be low Fodmap and so safe for consumption.
- 1 cup of rice flakes
- ½ cup chickpea flour (sifted)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 75gms/3oz Camembert
- Heat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Mix the first 3 ingredients together.
- In a different bowl, beat the oil and eggs together.
- Chop up the Camembert very finely and add to the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.
- Place a sheet of baking paper on an oven tray and spread out the mixture on the paper, leaving no gaps.
- Bake for around 15 minutes until crispy.
- Remove and cut into squares while still hot.
- Eat warm.
How fantastic that you were so well looked after on your cruise. I’m pleased to hear you had no symptoms. You certainly visited a lot of very interesting places on your cruise. Will you be posting any images? xx

What are rice flakes, and camerbert.
Camembert is a fairly common cheese and rice flakes are a grain you can find in the supermarket in the health section or in a specialty shop.
I thought these were crackers when I looked at the photo but whatever you want to call them, finish with delicious. I love what’s in them.
They were slightly thicker than crackers, hence the confusion in my mind. Crackers they are then.
They look yummy and I would like to make them but can you tell me if the rice flakes are like a breakfast cereal because they are the only ones I can find in the health food section.
Yes, rice flakes can be eaten as a breakfast cereal.
Hello Suzanne, You say to mix the first 4 ingredients but there are only 3 before the oil and eggs – so I wondered if something is missing?
Thanks for pointing that out. I have corrected it.
