Hip tips for making the best keto English muffins:
- I love using my ramekin dishes in the oven and microwave (they’re a great investment!), but if you do not have a ramekin dish, you can easily use any coffee mug or a shallow bowl instead to make this.
- I add a teaspoon of keto granular sweetener, such as Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit (use code HIP2KETO for 15% off), to my mix just to give the muffins a bit of sweetness — however, feel free to omit this if you prefer a more savory muffin.
- When toasting keto English muffins, make sure to set your toaster to a low setting. I tried a normal toast temperature and it burnt my first batch, so I did a low toast setting for two rounds of toasting to get a nice golden toasted English muffin.
- Top your muffin with butter, some of our yummy low-carb jam, or with ChocZero hazelnut spread for a delicious sweet treat!
Keto English muffins are a low-carb breakfast made easy!
I love that with this recipe you can make one or you can triple the recipe and make a week’s worth in under 20 minutes. These muffins store beautifully and are seriously the easiest keto bread to make for breakfast or to use for low-carb sandwiches.
You can store keto English muffins in a sealed container for 3-4 days or in a Ziploc freezer bag and place them in the freezer for up to 3 months! I usually make a big batch and always have a bag in the freezer at all times so they’re ready to pop in the toaster when my cravings hit.
My team member, Jenna, gave this recipe a test for me, and here’s what she had to say:
“I love how versatile these are! The flavor and consistency are so great and I can’t believe they are actually low-carb! They’re fantastic with butter, a sugar-free jam, or even some ChocZero hazelnut spread! YUMMO! I made mine the night before and reheated them in the morning and they were so delicious.”
Make these delicious next!
