Best Microwave English Muffin Recipe - Keto, Low Carb, Gluten-free, Grain-free, Sugar-free

For me, breakfast always consisted of some kind of baked good. Rarely do I order or make eggs, unless Eggs Benedict or Corned Beef Hash is an option. I’m not an egg lover. If I do eat breakfast, I wanted something either simple or elaborate, nothing in between. Eating low carb and sugar-free has not seemed to alter that pattern.

While I do not miss bread whatsoever, I did miss something crunchy at breakfast, and I could only eat so many bowls of grain-free porridge before enough was enough. This recipe, 90 Second Low Carb English Muffin, affords me the opportunity to enjoy that low carb breakfast bread without falling prey to unnecessary gluten, carbs, or sugar. Plus, when I’m trying to get out the door by 6:15 AM, 90 seconds is about all I’ve got.

This 90 second keto bread is also toddler approved. My son ate half of my muffin and then asked for his own. That’s a mom win in my book, especially since he eats nothing more than macaroni and cheese, and rice and beans. Any time that he asks for something different or new is a good sign!

Ingredient Notes

Almond Flour. This recipe is best with a super finely ground blanched almond flour. Using almond meal will result in a very dense, crumbly, and dry bread. I personally use Kirkland brand (Costco), but Bob’s Red Mill is also fantastic!

Directions

To make this 90 second keto bread,

Melt butter in a ramekin. Coat sides of the ramekin. In a small mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Mix to combine. Add wet ingredients, including the melted butter. Mix thoroughly to ensure no clumps remain.

Pour batter into ramekin. Microwave on high power for 90 seconds. Remove from microwave and cool. Run a knife around the edges to loosen. Flip out on to a plate. Cut in half.

Toast muffin halves to desired color. Top with butter, sugar-free jam, or nut butter.

Tips, Tricks, & FAQs

I melt my butter in the same ramekin I use to cook the keto muffin. This way you can use a fraction of that butter to grease the sides for a much easier removal.

Don’t skip toasting this! It’s edible after cooking but highly floppy and unpleasant. The final toasting will give you that crisp texture.

Eat immediately. I’ve attempted to travel with this breakfast treat and it should not be wrapped up before given a chance to cool. It will get soggy.
