A little off topic, but has anyone tried the FiberOne bars? I eat a lot of different kinds of cereal/breakfast/granola bars, but find those to be absolutely fantastic! Some of the bars are just to curb my appetite or get calories in or have a snack, but with those, I really taste them and just find them to be a very tasty and filling treat for such low calories!

Just like LindseyLouWho, I make Meg's Fiber One Muffins with it, but with the following changes to the recipe:
  • skim milk instead of buttermilk (I never have any use of the leftover buttermilk)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder instead of the baking soda (baking soda won't work with skim milk)
  • pumpkin puree instead of applesauce
  • 1 to 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • about 100 calories worth of fruit (berries, diced apple, diced apricot, cherries, diced peaches, diced mango, whatever is fresh) instead of the raisins

I divide the batter into 10 muffins, instead of 12 (I like my muffins a little larger). With my changes, the muffins come in at about 80 calories each.

If you like your muffins fluffier and lighter in texture, sub all purpose flour for half of the whole wheat flour.

I also eat Fiber One cereal by itself as a snack.

Nadia...........On the calorie counting thread we all discussed the Fiber One bar and all agree it's delicious but it also gave just about everyone terrible gas! :o
You might be one of the few people that isn't affect by them. One gal pointed out one of the ingredients, "shellac" and something about bug parts or shells or something, I can't remember now. I have two open boxes in my pantry opened, I thought I'd pawn them off on DH but he got terrible gas too!

I always mix fiber one with yogurt and some chopped fruit to make a really filling parfait! It is also good if you crush it and mix it with some lite vanilla ice cream for desert. It is almost like a malt.
It is also good crushed and mixed with fruit smoothies.
If you can stand the taste just a little, try mixing it with a good tasting cereal like honey bunches of oats.

Even adding 1/8 of a cup to the ice cream and the smoothies and 1/4 cup to the cereal and the yogurt makes it much more filling!

I use it to cut regular cereal. You can add just a 1/4 cup and get a good fiber boost.

I mix 1/4 cup fiber one with 1/4 cup granola and later with strawberries or blueberries and vanilla yogurt for a breakfast parfait.

My favorite recipe is to take low fat vanilla ice cream. Add 1/4 cup fiber one, a dash of cinnamon and top with a little dark agave nectar.

I make the Fiber OneŽ Crunchy Fudge Cookies on their website but sub No Pudge Brownie mix.

Sometimes I put it in stir fry as a sub for those little crispy noodles.
