You Can Still Eat Waffles For Breakfast
If you're looking for more fiber in your diet without sticking to boring old cereal, we're here to save the morning! With plenty of fiber-rich ingredients, you can make a long list of classic breakfasts that'll fill you up, keep you regular, and fuel you for the day ahead.
1. Fiber-Boosted Breakfast Tacos
Would you ditch the bran flakes to have tacos for breakfast? You can pump up the fiber in a breakfast taco using whole grain or flax seed tortillas and stuffing them with pinto beans or crumbled tempeh. Pinto beans have about 15 grams of dietary fiber per 1/2 cup. Roasted sweet potatoes, kale, and avocado are high-fiber fillings you can add with your eggs too.
2. Coconut Flour Pancakes
With about 10 grams of fiber per 1/4 cup, coconut flour is a fiber-full flour that makes the perfect pancake. Add ground flax and berries for an additional fiber boost. Drizzle in maple syrup and top with chopped walnuts or pecans for a filling and nutritious stack of flap jacks.
3. Chocolate Banana Muffins
Substitute regular flour for almond flour and oats to enhance the fiber in your muffin recipe. Almond flour has 8 grams of fiber per cup and half a cup of oats has about 5 grams of soluble fiber that's good for our digestion. Use raw cocoa powder, bananas, and sweetener of choice to make these moist muffins taste like dessert for breakfast.
4. Almond Berry Waffles
Adding fiber to traditional waffles boosts their nutrition without you noticing. You can enjoy a fluffy waffle made with almond or coconut flour and ground flax, just like pancakes. Fill the squares with nut butter and top with a generous amount of berries and maple syrup.
5. Omelette & Grains
It's easy to transform an omelette into a high-fiber breakfast. Create a filling with fiber-rich spinach and saute the leaves with other veggies of choice. Pump up the fiber with a side of savory fiber grains like wheat berries or buckwheat that pairs well with an omelette. Flavor with your favorite herbs and spices.
6. Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Cookies like these count as breakfast food. Made with oats, dates, raisins, coconut, seeds, and chopped nuts, these cookies are hearty and sweet with a fiber punch. They're an ideal breakfast on-the-run or afternoon snack.
7. Coconut Flax Banana Bread
Turn everyone's favorite banana bread into a fiber-rich breakfast treat with your morning coffee. Using coconut flour, flax, and other seeds will add fiber while preserving the soft and moist texture. The main ingredient, bananas, are naturally high in dietary fiber too.
8. The Ultimate Oatmeal
Oatmeal on its own has about 4 grams of fiber per cup, making it a very good base for a high-fiber brekkie. Berries are fiber-rich fruit that pairs perfectly with oatmeal. Add seeds, ground flax, nuts, raisins, and coconut flakes for the ultimate tummy-filling breakfast bowl.
9. Avocado Spinach Toast
There's about 13 grams of fiber in an avocado so when you smash it on top of a whole grain seeded bread, you're already fiber-full. Top your toast with spinach and seeds like sunflower or hemp for an extra fiber dose.
10. High-Fiber Smoothie Bowl
A spoonful of a thick and creamy smoothie bowl tastes like a tropical paradise. It's easy to increase your fiber intake with a smoothie bowl. For the smoothie, blend bananas with frozen spinach, berries, chia seeds, ground flax, prune juice, and a protein powder of choice. Top it with high-fiber toppings like nuts, seeds, and more fruit!
11. Secretly Healthy Granola Bars
Like oatmeal cookies, homemade granola bars are a quick and nutritious breakfast option. Pack them with fiber using ingredients like dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and oats. Use coconut oil to stick the ingredients together and create a chewy and decadent bar.
12. Yogurt Parfait
A yogurt parfait can be a fully loaded protein and fiber breakfast when you use the right ingredients. Plain greek yogurt is very high in protein and you can sweeten it with honey or maple syrup. The granola part of the parfait adds fiber with oats, nuts, and seeds. Top it all off with fresh fruit like apple slices and berries, or dried fruit like apricots or prunes.
13. Chia Pudding
With about 10 grams of fiber per ounce, chia seeds are great ingredients to boost your fiber intake. You can easily whip up a chia pudding for breakfast by soaking two tablespoons of chia seeds in your choice of milk. After a few minutes in the fridge it should have a pudding consistency. Add fruit and nuts for additional fiber.
14. Burrito Omelette
A breakfast burrito omelette will fill you up with fiber-rich ingredients that burst with flavor. Black beans are high in fiber and you can toss them in with all the fiber-full veggies you desire. Spinach, peppers, and sweet potatoes are always a good choice.
15. Smashed Pea Toast
If you're not a fan of avocados or you want to mix things up, try smashed peas on toast. Peas are packed with fiber and they're a source of protein as well. Like avo toast, you can enhance the fiber even more with toppings like seeds and leafy greens. Use a whole wheat or fiber enriched bread for the toast.
16. Peanut Butter & Chia Jam Toast
Make a classic PB&J for a tasty fiber-rich breakfast. Chia jam is easy to whip up and adds nutrients unlike a typical store-bought jelly. With natural peanut butter and bananas, you can fuel your breakfast with fiber. Always use a bread that's made with high-fiber flour or seeds.

17. Sweet Potato & Chickpea Hash
Chickpeas contain about 12 grams of fiber per cup and 14 grams of protein, making them a fabulous egg-free breakfast ingredient. Create a hash with roasted sweet potatoes, peppers, and onions for a hearty and flavorful fiber meal.
18. Berry Prune Smoothie
You can jam-pack your fiber intake by blending up a smoothie. Use fiber-rich ingredients like berries, mango, ground flax, pea protein powder, and nut butter. Blend those ingredients with prune juice for it's high-fiber content and a drizzle of honey for sweetness.
19. Nutty Granola
Granola made with quinoa, oats, and barley is heartier and richer in fiber than your average cereal. Adding delicious ingredients like dried fruits, nuts, and seeds will inject more fiber into your granola as well. Eat it with your favorite milk or sprinkle it on top of yogurt for a healthy breakfast.
20. Apple Cinnamon Porridge
The old saying suggests that apples are recommended to keep you out of the doctor's office. While they burst in vitamins and minerals, they also provide fiber along with the oats. Cooked in a pot of cinnamon oats on the stove creates a delicious porridge with a apple-pie like flavor and texture.
