A keto English muffin might just be the easiest keto recipe you’ll ever make! This single-serve recipe gives you a buttery, rich English muffin, baked right in the microwave and then toasted to perfection. Gluten free and easy to make paleo!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • This keto English muffin recipe seriously could not be any easier! I’ve generously listed the prep and cook time as 5 minutes each, but honestly, you’ll probably be ready to sit down and eat in less than 5 minutes total.
  • The convenient single-serve portion makes tracking macros even easier. Don’t feel like “baking” a muffin every day? The muffins actually refrigerate and reheat well, so if you want to make up a few at a time, you can! Refrigerate them in an airtight container up to 3 days.
  • They’re super versatile! This recipe has a pretty neutral flavor, so it goes well with a lot of things. Top it with an easy hollandaise sauce, butter, or homemade sugar free jam for a too-good-to-be-true keto breakfast or brunch dish. You could also use this as the “bread” for a breakfast sandwich or even for a burger!

Key Ingredients

Almond Flour – Use a blanched almond flour that’s very fine, so your keto English muffins always come out perfectly, buttery soft, never grainy. I haven’t tried this recipe without almond flour, and I’m not entirely sure it would work without it. If you’d like a keto bread with no almond flour, though, try the bread from our keto grilled cheese or keto French toast recipes.

Coconut Flour – This is a thirsty flour that requires a fair bit of liquid. I haven’t tried making this recipe without it yet. If you want to try leaving out the coconut flour, you’ll likely need to add at least 2 additional tablespoons of almond flour to make up the difference.

Chef’s Tips

  • For a lighter, fluffier English muffin, use only the white of one egg, instead of one whole egg. It’ll taste a little less eggy that way, too
  • I find that the keto English muffin releases from the ramekin more easily if I run a butter knife or silicone spatula around the inner edge of the dish first. Place a plate upside down on top of the ramekin, then flip everything over at the same time and give the bottom of the ramekin a tap or two. The muffin should slide right out onto the plate.
  • Feel free to play around with the flavors in this recipe! As-is, this would give you a “plain” or “regular” keto English muffin. You could add a little cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, Everything But the Bagel seasoning, or even a little garlic and onion powder.

    I don’t use a microwave for health reasons. Do you have an adapted version of this that could work in the oven or toaster oven?

      Hi, Sarah! You can absolutely bake this in the oven instead. You’ll want to use an oven-safe ramekin and bake at 350° Fahrenheit for around 15 minutes or so. I’d start checking it at the 10 minute mark. Keep in mind that bake times will vary depending on your oven and the size of your ramekin!

      Let us know how the oven method turns out for you!
