Whole grain, high fiber pumpkin muffins — easy to make and easier to love! Perfect for a quick, convenient breakfast or nourishing naturally sweet snack when you’re on the go. 

Although these muffins are decadent as a dessert, my family loves them for breakfast paired with a scoop of cottage or ricotta cheese or partnered with our favorite egg dishes. It’s a great way to start the day to keep you feeling full and satisfied.

By using Fiber One TM Original cereal in place of all-purpose flour you’ll get 26% of the Daily Value (DV) of fiber in just two mini muffins — but fair warning …it’ll be hard to eat just two! That’s why I usually double this recipe and freeze whatever is left so that a quick, wholesome breakfast could be defrosted whenever you’re looking for a delicious high fiber meal or snack. What an easy, yummy way to #flauntyourfiber!

Prep: 25 minutes

Serving: 2 mini-muffins

Yield: 20 mini muffins (10 servings)

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups Fiber One TM Original cereal

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup avocado oil

1 large egg

1/4 cup plain, low-fat yogurt

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup puréed pumpkin – canned, unsweetened

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

1/3 chopped almonds

Cooking spray

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat 2 mini muffin tins (20 muffins) with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Place Fiber One TM Original cereal in a food processor and pulse until powdery or flour-like.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together Fiber One TM Original cereal, flour, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

Step 4

In a large bowl, with a hand mixer combine sugar and oil. Then add egg, yogurt, almond milk, pumpkin and vanilla extract and beat with mixer until combined.

Step 5

Add Fiber One TM Original cereal mixture to above liquid mixture and beat at a low speed just until combined (don’t over mix.) Stir in chocolate chips.

Step 6

Spoon batter into muffin pans, filling each section half-way. Sprinkle almonds evenly over batter.

Step 7

Bake muffins for 20-30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Step 8

Cool in pans for 10 minutes and then remove from pans and cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Swap coconut sugar for the granulated sugar offers another great twist on the flavor of this muffin.
  • Chocolate chips can be omitted, if you prefer a less sweet muffin.
  • Light avocado oil can be used in place of avocado oil.
