RECIPE
Banana Fiber Muffins
About a month ago I partnered with Fiber One on a French Toast recipe. While I making the French Toast, I got some ideas of different recipe I could make with Fiber One. I mean getting extra fiber in your diet is always a good. There are so many benefits of fiber. It helps you live longer, lower cholesterol and helps control blood sugar to name a few.
So with really trying to focus on my health and create some healthy recipes, I decided to play with my banana muffin recipes. I love banana muffins and adding that extra fiber into them was such a good idea. I cut back on the sugar in the muffins and added Fiber One cereal for extra fiber.
Don’t worry you can’t taste the fiber, it adds a nice little nutty flavor to the muffins. So don’t worry no one will know unless you tell them. They are that good.
So that’s the Dish from mu Kitchen to your Kitchen ????

Tips & Recommendations
You definitely want to use a smaller chocolate chip. Make sure to bake the muffins for 5 minutes on the higher temperature, this helps the muffins to rise.
