These super fiber muffins are packed with fiber and wholesome goodness. They are super easy to make and taste delicious. Furthermore, the extra fiber helps you feel fuller and keep you regular.
For this recipe I use two cups of oat bran instead of one. However, one cup will do just fine. Simply add an extra cup of flour if you prefer chewier muffins.
Super fiber muffins are all about oat bran and seeds
Adding extra oat bran will make the muffins crumblier, especially if you use whole wheat flour. But with all the nutritional benefits of oat bran, I don’t mind the extra crumb. Oat bran is rich in vitamin B, magnesium, zinc, and potassium, and it’s also a fantastic source of soluble fiber, important for a healthy digestive system.
Have fun with all kinds of seeds
I also like adding different types of seeds. I’m a big fan of chia seeds because they add a pleasant crunch, but you can also use flax seeds. If you have some pumpkin seeds on hand, throw a handful of those into the mix as well.
To balance the taste of seeds and oat bran, I sometimes add some dry fruit, grated apples, oranges, or grated carrots. For this recipe I chose carrots, but you can also add raisins or cranberries if you prefer a sweeter taste.
If you’re adding whole oranges, to save time, you can use a blender and mix all the wet ingredients together.
Best flour super fiber muffins
As for the flour, in this recipe I used wheat flour from Poland, bread flour type 750 [click here to buy].
You can also use wholewheat or all-purpose wheat flour if you prefer.
