Is fiber … trending? It's a nutrient that conjures images of shriveled prunes and cardboard cereal, but it seem to be having a moment: On the heels of our collective protein obsession comes another dietary darling. “Fibermaxxing” recently took over TikTok feeds, and it’s easy to understand why: According to The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, over 90% of women and 97% of men in the United States don’t hit their recommended fiber intake. The good news is that when it comes to consuming 22 to 34 grams of dietary fiber — the recommended daily amount — baked goods can help! These wholesome cookies, chocolatey muffins, and spiced flatbreads prove that fiber doesn’t have to be sad or boring. Here’s how to start your day off right with these high-fiber breakfast recipes.
1) Breakfast Cookies
These big, chunky cookies combine hearty oats, raisins, barley, and granola for a powerful fiber boost, plus a happy handful of chocolate chips to keep things sweet. The added protein from peanut butter helps keep you full all morning.

2) Morning Glory Breakfast Bread
Not only is this fruit-packed bread high in fiber, but it also has no added sugar. Instead, the subtle sweetness comes from raisins that are plumped up in orange juice and puréed, grated apple and carrot, and a touch of maple syrup. It’s also 100% whole grain and dairy-free, making it an excellent way to start your day.

3) Bircher Muesli (Creamy Overnight Oats)
To make this hearty, creamy breakfast, fiber-packed rolled oats are soaked in a mixture of milk and yogurt, with plenty of dried fruit added for sweetness and flavor. As long as you stick to the ratio of one part oats to two parts liquid, it’s highly customizable: Toast the oats for nutty depth; use your favorite dried fruit blend; or choose dairy-free milk and yogurt to make it vegan.

4) Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
Thanks to the banana and whole wheat flour in the batter, these muffins are surprisingly high in fiber. They’re also shockingly good for such a basic bake — as one reviewer shared, “A friend at work literally told me that ‘those muffins you made were the best thing I've eaten in my life.’”

5) Soft Oatmeal Porridge Bread
This filling bread is made with leftover porridge (or oatmeal) in the dough, which not only boosts the fiber content, but also keeps the crumb nice and soft by adding additional moisture. It’s an ingenious way to use leftovers and hit your daily dose of fiber.

6) Bran Muffins
A classic bran muffin is a grownup sort of breakfast — virtuous yet comforting. This recipe is not only practical from a nutrition standpoint, but from a prep one as well: The muffin batter can be made and held in the refrigerator, unbaked, for up to a week. You can scoop as many (or few) muffins as you need, so you'll always have a fresh, warm muffin when you want it. Just make sure to plan for the overnight rest called for in the recipe, which helps hydrate all that bran.
Fiber per serving (one muffin): 7 grams

To make this recipe, you’ll need: Standard Muffin Pan
7) Multigrain Protein Bread
As its name implies, this bread packs a protein punch with 11 grams per slice. But it’s also sneakily high in fiber, thanks to the inclusion of rolled oats, grains, and seeds in the dough. It’s best enjoyed toasted, then topped with butter and jam or transformed into a hearty sandwich.

8) Aloo Paratha (Spiced Potato-Stuffed Flatbread)
Typical of Northern India, where parathas are often eaten for breakfast, this pan-fried Indian flatbread is crispy on the exterior, with a potato filling that’s spiced with cilantro, minced fresh green chiles, chili powder, and chaat masala. If you want to stock your freezer with ready-to-cook parathas (and trust us, you do), we’ve given instructions for parcooking in the tips at the bottom of the recipe page.

9) Chia Energy Bars
Crunchy, chewy, and flavorful, these hearty bars are a satisfying way to start your day. They're made with oats, quinoa, flax, and chia seeds, all bound together with nut butter and studded with dried fruit. Have one for breakfast, and tuck one away for an afternoon snack, too.
Fiber per serving (one bar): 6 grams

To make this recipe, you’ll need: King Arthur Rolled Oats
You can boost the fiber content of any recipe by swapping in whole wheat flour. We like Golden Wheat Flour, which is milled from a lighter-colored grain than traditional red wheat, yielding milder-tasting baked goods without the strong “wheaty” flavor common to whole grain bakes.
