Fiber Muffins…that taste good!

As many of us Americans fall very short on meeting our recommended daily fiber goal of 35grams per day, here is a muffin that is packed full of fiber. And trust me, it doesn’t taste anything like cardboard. One muffin at 120 calories makes a delicious afternoon snack - either plain, heated in the microwave, or with a little nut butter smeared on it.
