Low-Calorie Fiber One Mango Muffins

This enlightened recipe for Mango Muffins—each one has less than 100 calories—is adapted from the bran muffin recipe I found on the back of a box of Fiber One cereal. I love both mango and bran muffins, and always look forward to trying new ways to make my favorite foods lighter and healthier.

The original recipe included the addition of optional raisins and/or chopped dates. Since I was looking for something a little different this time, and just happened to have a package of mango chunks in the freezer, I left out the raisins and used diced mango instead.

How to Make Lighter Mango Muffins

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2: In a mixing bowl, stir together crushed FiberOne cereal and almond milk until thoroughly combined. Stir in egg, vanilla, applesauce and coconut oil until well blended.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and Truvia Brown Sugar Blend (affiliate link) until thoroughly combined.

Step 4: Stir the dry flour mixture into the wet cereal mixture just until combined. Fold in the diced mango (the batter will be slightly sticky).

Stir the flour mixture into the cereal mixture, then fold in the mango.

Step 5: Drop batter into prepared muffin tin, dividing evenly between the 12-cups. Each will be filled about ¾ full.

Step 6: Bake muffins until tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 7: Allow muffins to cool for about 5 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely on wire rack.

Recipe Notes

Crush cereal into fine crumbs using a blender (affiliate link) or food processor (affiliate link). Alternatively, you can place cereal in a sealed plastic baggy and crush with a rolling pin (affiliate link). (I used my VitaMix (affiliate link).)

You can use either fresh or frozen mango to make these muffins. I used frozen mango chunks that were rather large—too large to use as-is in this recipe. But frozen mango cuts easily enough and I was able to dice it up without even thawing it first.

There are two types of Fiber One cereal in my area—Original Bran Breakfast Cereal and Honey Clusters. I used the whole grain bran breakfast cereal to make these muffins.

I used unsweetened almond milk, but any dairy or non dairy milk will work. 

I used coconut oil but feel to substitute whatever oil you prefer - olive, canola, grape seed, vegetable, etc. 

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these muffins at room temperature or heated in the microwave (affiliate link) or toaster oven.

Try making a mango muffin yogurt bowl by topping a muffin with plain non-fat Greek yogurt, a sprinkling of granola or Gape Nuts and fresh berries.
