This Low Carb English Muffin is one of the most popular recipes in my Better Breakfast Recipe Book. In less than 5 minutes you can have a tasty low carb bread that can be sliced and toasted like an English muffin.

I’ve used a combination of ground flax, almond flour, and coconut flour. So many low carb recipes use almond flour which is delicious but this can be quite expensive. This recipe uses more ground flax than almond which is economical and also gives this bread a wonderful texture similar to whole grain bread. It also doesn’t taste ‘eggy’ like so many low carb bread does.

After you’ve baked this bread, you can slice it, toast it and top it like you would an English muffin. It also makes a tasty grilled cheese sandwich or garlic toast. I’m sure there are endless uses for this versatile bread! Share below if you try anything interesting!

You can also bake this in the oven but I found it a little drier than the microwave version. The bottom also sticks to the ramekin so be sure to grease your dish liberally.

Flax Seed English Muffin in a Mug

Takes less than 5 minutes to make this no-grain english muffin in the microwave!

Prep Time2 minutes mins

Total Time3 minutes mins

Course: Breakfast, Snack

Keyword: Keto, Low Carb

Servings: 1

Calories: 427kcal

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Olive oil or coconut oil
• 1 tbsp Almond Flour
• 2 tbsp Flaxseed meal ground
• 1/2 tbsp Coconut flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1/2 tsp Baking powder

Instructions

• Put olive oil in a microwave-safe dish like a ramekin (should be about 4" in diameter with a flat bottom). If using coconut oil, melt in the ramekin, in the microwave.
• Add the almond flour, ground flax seed, coconut flour, egg, salt, and baking powder and stir until well combined. Let sit for a minute to allow the mixture to thicken.
• Microwave for about 90 seconds, or until firm. Run a knife along the edge and flip over a plate to release your English muffin. Slice English muffin, then toast in the toaster. I can often get 4 slices from one muffin.

Notes

You can assemble serving size portions of the dry ingredients in small zip-lock bags so they're ready to go in the morning. Just add the oil and egg.

Try using seasonings like garlic or onion powder, or add a bit of shredded cheese to change the flavour.

You can also bake this in the oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Grease your ramekin well because it tends to stick to the bottom when you bake it in the oven.
