Sometimes a piece of bread is called for, and this little treat is not only gluten-free, but it takes mere minutes to make. My English Muffins are gluten, sugar and fat-free. You can enjoy them as is or toasted for the perfect breakfast treat. 

Serve them under poached eggs, smear with avocado or top with juicy tomatoes and a sprinkling of Himalayan salt. Whichever way you choose, my English Muffins are a healthy treat that is so quick and simple to make and so delicious to eat. 

Hints, Tips & Tricks

You will need a small microwavable container or mug as well as a microwave for this recipe.

This recipe also calls for nutritional yeast. As well as being a vegan-friendly source of complete protein, B vitamins and trace minerals[1], it also gives the dish a nice savoury flavour.

You can use this muffin as the foundation for your poached eggs for a healthy eggs benedict. Or you can toast them and use them as a base to smear on avocado or layer with juicy tomatoes and a sprinkle of Himalayan salt.

Hi Mary,

Try doubling the cooking time to start with, then check to see if it needs more cooking. If so, cook in 90seconds increments until cooked through :)

I made these for Breakfast this morning and they were so easy and tasty. This will definitely be my go to most mornings for eggs on toast. Thank you Bridget

Well I made my muffin and I was very excited when I took it out of the microwave- what a fabulous sight. I’m going to make up x4 of the ingredients and distribute the mixture into 4 large ramkins. I’m just unsure of the microwave time as I don’t think it would be 90×4???

Hi Rose,

Yes, these can be made using an air fryer or waffle maker :)
