I created this recipe as part of a paid partnership with Fiber One™ Original Cereal but all content and ideas are my own.

Why just “take” you fiber when you can flaunt it? It’s Fiber Month so I partnered with Fiber One^TM Original cereal to create some high fiber recipes to get the new year off to a good start. Maintaining a high fiber diet is a practical solution to maintaining digestive health. Choosing a high fiber cereal is a simple way to meet your daily fiber goals.

In addition to enjoying a bowl of cereal with milk, try these Fiber One^TM Cereal Waffles. Since I love breakfast and enjoy a good sandwich, I dreamt up these waffles to use in place of bread to make a slider.

Keeping it Moving

Growing older presents a couple of challenges: Energy balance, and, ahem, “regularity”. Fiber helps fill you up, so you can eat just enough and be satisfied. It’s also a key factor in maintaining a healthy gut and healthy bowel movements. If you’re someone who’s not a fan of fiber supplements, or have had trouble being compliant with them, these homemade waffles are a delicious solution to your fiber needs.

Fiber Goals

Use these Fiber One^TM Waffles as a delicious high fiber substitute for your favorite bread. Each serving provides 19 grams of fiber. Add peanut butter and it brings it up to 21 grams – that’s 75% of the Daily Value (DV) for fiber!
They’re simple to make. Continuing my “DASH Diet for Two” theme, this recipe makes enough for 2 small waffle sandwiches. You can make a double batch of the waffles and freeze them in zippered freezer bags. They’ll stay fresh for 3 months, and you’ll have high fiber waffles to create sandwiches anytime you’d like. I recommend lightly toasting them to defrost from the freezer.
The sandwich-filler options are endless really, but I love a good ole PBJ when I’m short on time. I also tried a hot chicken Fiber One^TM Waffle sandwich and it was delicious (I used sliced rotisserie chicken, hot sauce, lettuce and mayo – yum).

In addition to sandwiches, you can enjoy these Fiber One™ Cereal Waffles for breakfast with fruit or yogurt, or just have one as a high fiber snack. Drop me a comment to let me know how you like them, or if you have other ways to use Fiber One™ Original. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2/3 cup Fiber One™ Original Cereal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1/3 cup low fat milk
2 tbsp Peanut Butter
2 tsp Mixed berry Jam

Instructions

Using a food processor, grind Fiber One™ cereal. Pulse your food processor for 10-second intervals until cereal is a course powder.
Transfer the ground cereal into a bowl. Add the flour and baking powder. Stir until dry ingredients are well blended.
Add the egg and milk. Stir until smooth.
Heat waffle iron (I used a 4-waffle iron to make 4 small 3-inch waffles. Or you can make 2 regular waffles). When it’s hot, spoon a dollop of batter equally onto each waffle grid. Press and cook according to your iron’s directions.
Remove waffles from iron and allow to cool.
Spread the peanut butter onto two small waffles and spread the jam on the other two halves.
Place waffles together to create two small sandwiches.
Serve with fruit and a glass of milk.
