It’s true: A fluffy, airy, savory keto English muffin exists! Turning the classic grain-based treat into a low-carb, healthy keto recipe<\/a> calls for some creativity, but with the right ingredients, it’s a breeze. Instead of all-purpose flour, reach for protein-rich almond flour and low-carb coconut flour. (PS: Yes, this is also a gluten-free recipe<\/a>!) A bit of butter and an egg round out the rich, savory batter. Stir the ingredients together in a ramekin and then put it in the microwave\u2014that’s it!<\/p>\n Slice and toast your keto English muffin for a quick breakfast on the go, or serve it as part of a larger keto brunch<\/a> alongside other favorites like eggs and bacon. You can also use it for a sandwich, burger or single-serving English muffin pizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n Microwave the butter, ghee or coconut oil in a microwave-safe ramekin for 30 seconds or until melted.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> We made this recipe in a 6-ounce ramekin. When microwaving, we always cover butter with a paper towel; it tends to splatter.<\/p>\n Directly to the ramekin, add the almond and coconut flours, baking powder, egg and salt (if using). Whisk until combined. Let the mixture sit for one minute to thicken.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Don’t skip the rest period; it helps the batter become structurally sound.<\/p>\n Microwave for 90 seconds or until the top of the muffin feels firm when pressed with a fingertip.<\/p>\n Run a knife along the edge of the ramekin to release the muffin. Flip onto a plate. Use two forks to pull the muffin apart into two halves.<\/p>\n Toast the English muffin in the toaster until lightly browned.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Microwaving the batter cooks it, but it will be squishy and chewy. To achieve the crispy, craggy texture of a classic English muffin, you need to toast it.<\/p>\n You can store untoasted English muffins in the fridge or freezer. Once toasted, however, you should eat them right away. Like all toast, they cool and harden if they sit too long. If you want to take your breakfast on the go, wrap the warm muffin in a napkin and then in foil, which will seal in the heat and keep it tender.<\/p>\n When stored at room temperature, tightly wrapped, untoasted keto English muffins will last one to two days. They will harden a bit as they sit, so revive them by popping them in the microwave for a few seconds before splitting and toasting.<\/p>\n Yes, you can freeze untoasted keto English muffins. Allow the cooked muffin to cool completely, then wrap it in storage wrap or foil. Freeze it for up to two months. Reheat it straight from the freezer in the microwave for one to two minutes, then split and toast it according to the recipe.<\/p>\n Use a 4- or 6-ounce ramekin to make this keto English muffin recipe.<\/p>\n Serve a toasted keto English muffin slathered with butter and jam or stuffed with scrambled eggs, avocado and bacon for a high-protein breakfast<\/a>. While they’re traditionally a breakfast dish, you can also serve a keto English muffin alongside a bowl of vegetable soup or other low-carb lunch<\/a>, or turn it into a burger bun or BLT at dinner.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Making a keto English muffin from scratch requires only a few ingredients (no yeast!) and minutes in a microwave.
