Best Keto English Muffins
These yummy rolls are very versatile and make delicious English muffins, sandwich bread, or dinner rolls! Feel free to experiment with this Keto breakfast recipe by adding in different herbs and spices depending on what you make them for. For a savory flavor, try dried thyme, parsley, or garlic powder. For a lighter English muffin, leave herbs and spices out. The muffins have nooks and crannies that are perfect for butter, runny eggs, mayonnaise, or mustard. If you’re using the English muffins for another meal, like lunch or dinner, eat them as a side dish or pile them with sandwich ingredients. More ideas are explained further below.
More ideas for this recipe
Use these English muffins as buns for burgers, sloppy joes, or fried chicken sandwiches. Let the muffins cool, then slice them and use them for sandwiches. Pile the English muffins with cold cuts or veggies. If you don’t want to spread plain butter, how about a smear of onion and chive cream cheese?
Benefits of ground flax seed
Why are flax seeds in your English muffin? For one, they thicken the batter and congeal it a little better. Flax seeds are also believed to have some health benefits. Flax seeds have omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They may also potentially aid in digestive health and hormone regulation.
Quick whipped butter recipe
Want to make your own butter at home? Whip cold whipping cream with a pinch of salt for 8-10 minutes until the cream separates into curds and whey. Then, continue whipping until the butter is formed. Squeeze excess water out of the butter in a cheesecloth and wrap it in parchment or wax paper for storage.

The roll worked and held together for a sandwich. However the large amount of flaxseed meal gave ot an overpowering taste I will try and reduce it a bit if I make it again.

I believe the lemon juice is used as a leveling agent with the baking soda for a lighter product. Vinegar can substitute for lemon juice too.

Haven’t made yet but plan to do so. I’m sure I’ll be a fan. Will try lupin flour (1 carb per .25 cup); need to get some dark flax seeds — had some previously which were zero carbs — the light colored flax seeds are more carb expensive. Will also try separating white as nd shipping separately — I’m assuming fold them in to extent possible. I recently got some mascarpone cheese that was zero carbs — think I’ll try that as a topping. Will share back on the lupin flour. 🙏😎🖖

That was supposed to be “whipping” egg whites🥴. 🙏😎🖖

Used sunflower seed flour (because I was out of almond flour) and it turned out great. Whipping egg whites separately helps with leavening. Melted a cube of cheddar and spread it on top.

I love these! I make a double batch - NO SEASONINGS - then I put 1/2 the batch into ring molds for plain muffins. Next, I add Swerve, cinnamon, and an extract (vanilla or maple or banana) to remaining dough before dropping it on the cookie sheet too. Bake them all up! House smells divine and these are moist and amazing.

Fabulous result from following the recipe other than substiting fresh herbs for dried including garlic chives instead of garlic powder. Soft consistency with a nice crunch.

My mix was sloppy but they taste great, I omitted the lemon juice (I’m not a fan), they were soft and buttery first bread like thing I’ve had in over 3 months and enjoyed two with Philly cheese. I will def make again but will try adding the egg whites separately as suggested in posts below.

I have made this 2 times already and it has been good each time. It’s so delicious. I missed having bread but with this I don’t miss it a bit. Thanx

I made these in muffin tins just to try them out. Made six instead of five, but after trying them and a touch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning, no lemon juice and I will make again, according to instructions though. Make a great breakfast sandwich.

Just what I need when I'm craving bread or a bit of toast. I found these really filling and very tasty, I'm usually looking for something else to eat mid morning but these have really helped quash that. I have them with eggs in the morning or topped with cheese for lunch. Will definitely be making them again and adding them to my favourites. Thanks for the recipe!

Can something else be used in place of the flax seed?

These were so buttery and flakey! Perfect for an egg muffin sandwich. Mine yelded 4 instead of 5. Next time I make them, I'll roll them into balls so it's easier to cut in half a nice they are so flakey.

Could i add some seeds and make it into a loaf of bread?

This is soooo delicious! Been doing Keto for a while and I’ve made many different bread recipes, but this is without doubt the best!! Yes

Didn’t like these for breakfast, very savory. I could see how it might be good with some butter as a side to some dinner meat.

I make a double batch and bake the dough in egg rings. 1.5 servings per muffin. They rise better, more muffin-like

The closest bread texture I found in all the Keto «bread» I've tried . Definately work to replace your craving for bread, great flavor ( no egg flavor) !

I made 2 separate batches this morning. On batch #1 I used ghee butter and lime juice instead of lemon juice bc that’s what I have on hand. The batter was a little runny but seemed to tighten up as it sat. I baked for the time specified and they came out like 3 inch diameter cookies, too thin to cut in half. On the 2nd batch I used regular salted butter(not grass fed) and again, the batter was not quite as stiff as it shows in your picture but I tried to dome the batter. They came out a little thicker. Do you think it’s the lime juice? The flavor is good. I just need them to be thicker so I can cut them in half

Use ring molds.

Glad you enjoyed the flavor! This recipe was tested with lemon juice only, but is it possible your baking powder or baking soda need replacement? Older baking powder can lead to baked goods not rising properly. Alternatively, you could try separating the eggs and whipping the whites prior to folding them into the batter.

Delicious. I followed what Tracy suggested. Whipped egg whites and added 1/2 tsp. Seltzer used 5 tbls. Flax seed meal and 11 tbls. Almond flour. Came out good. Very tasty and not dry at all. Also, added the egg yolks to mixture. I used a ice cream scoop and got 5 Nice size. My husband even loved them.
