Abstract: The invention provides an extrudable batter for use in providing a shelf-stable, ready-to-eat high-fiber food product. The batter comprises a select amount of a powdered fiber, at least one fat component chosen from an oil and a shortening, the shortening having a solid fat content of about 2% to about 30% at ambient temperature, a humectant, a sweetener, a leavening agent and water. The resultant uncooked batter is flourless and gluten-free and is extrudable in a continuous form. The ready-to-eat high-fiber food product produced by such batter contains about 5 grams or more of fiber per serving and substantially maintains, before and after being baked, a desired shape, structure and moisture content.
