High Fiber Cereal Crusted French Toast with berries and bananas
I am proud to partner with Fiber One TM Original to bring you this post. I was compensated for my time and I only work with brands I love and use myself and with my family.
Fiber may not be the sexiest food trend, yet we know how incredibly beneficial fiber is to help promote digestive health. What if I told you that you can take your fiber and ‘flaunt’ it too? A fiber filled breakfast will help jump start your intake for the day and my Fiber One TM Cereal Crusted French Toast is a fun and delicious treat to get you “going”!
How much fiber do we need?
Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans fall short of the recommended 25-38 grams of fiber per day? Of course, I always recommend fiber from plant foods first such as fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, beans, legumes and seeds. But sometimes we need some extra help.
Fiber doesn’t have to come in a sad capsule or a dusty jar of powder. Fiber One TM Original cereal is a real food substitute for fiber supplements -tastier, easier and more enjoyable. And, with a little creativity, we can enjoy it well beyond a traditional cereal bowl.

Fiber One TM Original cereal nutrition:
Each 2/3 cup serving contains 90 calories, no added sugar and 18 grams of fiber- that’s 65% of the Daily Value (DV) on average! We go through a LOT of it in my household. Most days, we enjoy it as a cereal with fruit, mixed into Greek yogurt, layered into a parfait or even as a topping for ice cream. Playing with food is fun and I love experimenting with ways to add Fiber One TM cereal into recipes for meals, snacks and desserts 🙂
Ways to cook with Fiber One:
With a wonderful balance of savory, sweet and crunchy, Fiber One TM Original cereal can work in so many different dishes.
- A quick pulse in a food processor or blender and you’ve got a coating to sub for bread crumbs to coat chicken, fish or even onion rings.
- Bake up some muffins or quick breads.
- Blend some in a smoothie or smoothie bowl for a fiber boost and added texture.
- Add to homemade trail mix.
- Incorporate into homemade granola bars -and so much more!

This cereal crusted French toast is easy, sweet, soft, crunchy and versatile. Double the recipe to feed a family of four and make an activity out of it. Just think how well a DIY French toast bar will work at breakfast time or even if you decide to serve breakfast for dinner.
Kids can help to crush the cereal and to organize their favorite toppings into ramekins or even muffin tins. There’s no limit to the creativity and it’s always a good idea to empower kids (or grandkids) in the kitchen.
