This keto almond flour English muffin recipe is the oldest of all my keto bread recipes – and it’s so easy, I still make it regularly. Here’s an excerpt of what I wrote about these low carb gluten-free English muffins when I first made them:
You know a recipe is good when you plan out several meals to have during the week, and instead you just keep making one thing on repeat. That’s what happened here. I started by trying to make gluten-free English muffins low carb. I was happy that they turned out to be paleo English muffins, too. And they were so good, I just kept wanting them over and over! In fact, I made this low carb English muffin recipe for breakfast every day this week.

Yes, I’m totally obsessed with this new microwave toasted paleo english muffin. It certainly helps that it’s easy as can be! It’s the perfect go-to breakfast when you’re in a rush. (But if you’re looking for something sweet, you could try my 2-minute cinnamon swirl mug muffin instead.)
Aside from the simplicity, my favorite aspect of these low carb English muffins is the texture. Soft and buttery inside, crusty on the outside. These also have the lovely little air pockets you know and love. Some people might call them “nooks and crannies” based on a common brand of store bought ones. You wouldn’t expect that from gluten-free English muffins, but it works!

While this quick keto english muffin recipe is no longer my top choice for bread, it’s definitely one of the quickest and most convenient, with the simplest ingredients. If you have a little more time on your hands, I recommend making fathead bagels, almond flour bread, or my personal favorite, keto yeast bread.
Keto English Muffin Ingredients
This whole low carb English muffin recipe only requires five simple ingredients (plus salt). You might even have these in your pantry and fridge right now:
- Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour – This is the one I recommend for best results; it has a super fine consistency, so your keto English muffin isn’t grainy. Different almond flours also have different oil levels, which can react differently in recipes.
- Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour – Use this super fine coconut flour if you can. Brands vary by moisture level, so using something else can still work, but might make the batter a little too wet or too dry.
- Butter – Use grass-fed butter for best flavor. Ghee or coconut oil work here as well, if you are paleo or sensitive to dairy, respectively.
- Egg – Use large eggs, not medium, extra large, or jumbo.
- Sea salt
- Baking powder – I recommend aluminum-free, like this one. Be sure it’s fresh, for maximum air pockets.
These are all pretty common for anyone that cooks gluten-free even occasionally. That means you can make a paleo English muffin on the spur of the moment. Yay!
How To Make Low Carb English Muffins
Did I mention that this low carb English muffin is ready in just a couple of minutes? It doesn’t get much faster than that! For mornings when you’re tired, don’t feel like cooking, or are short on time, gluten-free English muffins are the perfect solution.
Easy? Check. Fast? Check. Delicious? Check. Low carb, gluten-free and paleo? Check. Yes, this keto English muffin recipe is my jam. Let’s make them!
- Melt. Melt butter in a microwave safe ramekin.
- Mix. Add blanched almond flour, coconut flour, egg, sea salt, and baking powder.
- Cook. Microwave or bake almond flour English muffins, until the top is firm and spring-y to the touch. Run a knife along the edge of the ramekin and flip over a plate to release.
- Toast. Slice the English muffin in half, then pop in the toaster until golden.
Paleo English Muffin Recipe FAQs
Can you make them without a microwave?
Yes! If you’d rather not use the microwave, it’s easy to make this keto English muffin recipe in the oven instead.
Just use an oven safe ramekin and bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.
The oven method does take a little longer, but you can make the paleo English muffin recipe ahead if you want to. You can even make a few at a time by using multiple ramekins.
Can you omit the almond flour or coconut flour?
Yes, here are your options:
- To omit the coconut flour: Replace the 1/2 tbsp coconut flour with an additional 1 1/2 tbsp to 2 tbsp almond flour, until the batter consistency is similar to the picture above. (Yes, you’d need 3-4 times the amount of almond flour to replace the coconut! You may also need bigger ramekins.)
- To omit the almond flour: Make this coconut flour microwave bread recipe instead. I don’t recommend omitting all the almond flour in the English muffins.
Do you have to toast them?
I wouldn’t recommend making this keto English muffin recipe without toasting, as it will be too fragile. On the other hand, after the toaster it comes out perfectly crispy.
If you don’t have a toaster, other options would be to lightly pan fry your paleo English muffin, or toast in a toaster oven.
Can you make a larger batch?
Absolutely! Just multiply the recipe by the number you want and use separate ramekins.

What To Serve With A Keto English Muffin
These gluten-free English muffins definitely have a breakfast feel to them, so let’s embrace that. Voila – you’ve got the perfect breakfast or snack!
- Butter – What’s more classic than an English muffin topped with a pat of butter? I try to get grass-fed.
- Jam or jelly – Most jams are loaded with sugar, but you can easily make your own! Try sugar-free strawberry chia jam or keto blackberry jelly.
- Breakfast Sandwich – Pile it high with bacon or sausage, a fried egg, and melty cheese.
And if a less breakfast-y sandwich is what you’re after, you’ll probably prefer my keto 90 second bread recipe. It has a more chewy texture and is just as easy!
Recommended Containers For This Low Carb English Muffin Recipe
Here are your container options for making this low carb English muffin recipe:
- Ramekins – Most often, I make these gluten-free English muffins in large ramekins. The best ones are 4 inches in diameter like these. But if you only have smaller ramekins that are 3.5 inches in diameter, you can still make low carb English muffins in them! For ramekins any smaller than that, divide the batter into two instead.
- Mug – If you prefer more slices, you can also make the paleo English muffin in a large mug instead of a ramekin. Once it’s ready, slice it, and just pop those into the toaster in batches. This option is good for trying it with multiple spreads or toppings. Because sometimes you just can’t decide, right?
- Rectangular glass containers – As suggested by a reader, use these to turn this low carb English muffin recipe into bread slices. (Makes one large rectangle, which you can cut in half to make 2 slices.)
- Soup bowls with a flat bottom – These are the ones I like to use for larger muffins, as shown in the video below. They are both microwave + oven safe.
