When I originally created this Keto English Muffin recipe back in 2018 I wanted a better alternative to keto 90 second bread.
I am sorry to all the fans of 90 second bread but to me it tasted all kinds of wrong. While I should admit I only tried it when I first started a ketogenic diet I have not wanted to revisit. However, I loved English muffins and had to have a go at making a recipe we would all love.
This is a keto bread recipe that I totally rate. Hopefully by now you should know I am very fussy when it comes to low carb bread recipes.

KETO ENGLISH MUFFIN INGREDIENTS
The ingredients in these low carb muffins are relatively easy to source. Inulin is found in most health shops, but as I have stated in notes you can use sugar or honey as the yeast will consume it. Other than that most ingredients are straightforward.
- 7 g yeast dried yeast
- 3 tablespoons tepid water blood temperature
- 1 teaspoon inulin or sugar (yeast will eat sugar)
- 70 g golden flax meal or golden flaxseeds for TM
- 120 g almond meal
- 30 g whey protein isolate
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt flakes
- 35 g butter
- 50 g sour cream
- 2 eggs
OPTIONAL
SEEDED ENGLISH MUFFIN
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds plus extra for top
- 1 tablespoon pepitas roughly chopped, plus extra for top

HOW TO MAKE KETO ENGLISH MUFFINS
Honestly this keto english muffin recipe / keto 90 second bread is not hard. I have tried to make it tasty and yeasty. I wanted a keto bread that was similar to a real English muffin.
Once upon a time I used to make sourdough English muffins and boy were they good. I wanted to make this recipe a little closer to my old recipe but still an easy keto bread recipe.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH LOW CARB ENGLISH MUFFINS
While I am prone to a bit of butter and Vegemite on just about anything I love English muffins in a big breaky or Benedict.
Keto Eggs Benedict is always popular as is a great Avocado Smash recipe! Use these as a very simple keto pizza base or low carb grilled cheese sandwich. Dammit! Now I am wanting grilled cheese 😂

These English muffins were the perfect solution for a friend of mine who is strictly keto. But I loved them too. It was fun baking with new ingredients! So tasty.
Yum! This sounds delicious! Especially with bacon & eggs! 😀 Love this easy recipe! Thank you!
I love this alternative to the regular English muffin. It’s seems so delicious with bacon and eggs.
Hi Megan I am loving being in your 365 group! Been in it for over a year now. My family and I now enjoy so many of your recipes every week plus you feel like a neighbour to me as I too am in the Hunter Valley. I am just wondering what I could replace the yeast with in this recipe?
Hi Jayne, you can just omit the yeast or add an extra teaspoon of baking powder as the yeast is used to give it a bread like consistency. And a big “howdy neighbour” 😝
