Hi. I had to start a new thread because there was no longer a reply button on our old thread. So I made another batch and this time I put in 1/2 cup sugar instead of 1/4 cup sugar and I added one teaspoon of vanilla. And they came out great!! Also, I looked up the LifeSource Foods Oat Fiber 500 and noticed that the fiber content is a lot less than the NuNaturals brand I bought. I think it said the LifeSource has 5 g of fiber per tablespoon. The NuNaturals has 9 g per tablespoon. And it’s probably about the same price. I paid $4 something for a 16 oz bag on iHerb.com. Give it a try in your recipe and see how it goes. Next I’m going to add a handful of dried fruit to these muffins. Thanks again for this great recipe!!
No problem about starting a new thread. I think the system limits the number, but I am glad that you did start up a new thread. Thanks and I am super happy that you made another batch, as well as the information on NuNaturals and the fiber content. That’s absolutely awesome. I am looking forward to your update when you add the dried fruit. I just ♥ it when people try out different variations and put a new spin on a recipe.
May I respectfully ask when you have a moment, to scroll down to the very bottom and you will see: Leave a Comment and Recipe rating.

I don’t understand your nutritional content:

Thank you so much for pointing this out! Please accept my humble apologies. I have updated the recipe and now you will find the plain version nutritional information for 1 muffin. You should be able to get 12 muffins out of a batch. I recently started to add the nutritional value and the older recipes were auto-updated, and obviously, a huge error occurred on this one. Again, sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks so much for updating that!!
No problem, again thank you for pointing it out. Hope you will give it a try and let us know what you think of it.
I’m definitely going to give these a try. One more question…
I’m looking for a high fiber muffin, but not low carb or keto as sugar is not a problem for me. So if I want to make these as sweet as regular muffins is it okay to use 1/2 cup of sugar? Will they still come out good, or will I have to adjust some of the other ingredients?
Thanks for checking in again, and I am so glad that you wish to try this out. To be very honest we have not tested it with 1/2 cup of sugar as yet, so I am not able to say what the consistency will be like, but it’s worth a try if you feel up to it. To my mind, the only way to find out is to try and adapt as you go along. Maybe start with a 1/4 cup and see what the consistency is and if ok, then add some more. Please let us know once you tested it and how it turned out for you.
You will notice the following on the recipe: Standard Version – I added a few tablespoons of sugar to breakfast muffins.
Ok, will do!! I’ll check back in once I’ve tried them. Thanks again!!
Awesome, looking forward to your feedback, Enjoy
Ok, I finally made them. I used 1/4 cup of sugar and they came out pretty good. I’m definitely going to try 1/2 cup of sugar for my second batch as I’d like them to be as sweet as regular muffins. But for not having any flour in them, the consistency was great!! Light and airy and they rose nicely. I used a 6 cavity jumbo muffin pan. They only filled up halfway through. So next batch will be a double batch made in a 12 cavity regular muffin pan. I like that I can get 18 g of fiber out of one muffin. Thanks so much for this recipe. I’m going to try different add-ins over time as well. By the way, what brand of oat fiber did you use? I used the NuNaturals brand.
★★★★★
WOW, so happy that you made these muffins and by your results. Keep it up and keep me posted on your next batch. My daughter said she used LifeSource Foods Oat Fiber 500 (Pack of 2) and she bought it off Amazon. Note we are in Canada, so you may well have something different, but I am sure that the NuNaturals will taste as good.
Where can I get oat fibre in South Africa?
Hi Nadine, I am not in South Africa, but my guess would be that you will be able to find it at specialty shops or specialty baking stores. Also, I do not know where in South Africa you are.
As a side note: What is a substitute for oat fiber? What is a substitute for oat fiber? Oat flour can be substituted for oat fiber in most baking recipes. There is a fundamental difference in the absorption rate within liquids, however, the difference should be negligible.
can you substite the butter with apple sauce?
I have not tried it with apple sauce so unable to give you a definite answer. Feel free to try it and please keep me posted of the outcome.
I’ll goi withy the cheesy version! #SeniSal
Edna I agree with you, cheese with anything only adds that extra dimension and even more delicious
