Good morning! Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty low-key, but really nice. Mal and I were lazy bums and ended up watching the entire first season of American Horror Story. (Thanks to all of you who suggested it!) It’s such an intense and mysterious show, we just couldn’t stop watching it— sort of like what happened when we started watching Lost. We watched the first couple of episodes and then got sucked in and watched the first 3 seasons marathon-style in just a couple of weeks.
One more episode?

One more episode?
American Horror Story is definitely one of those shows.
Breakfast
I had a major craving for an egg sandwich this morning, so I had a little fun with almond flour/meal and made an English muffin in the microwave. I’m still surprised how well it turned out, especially considering it only took me a few minutes to make!
Microwavable English Muffin
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup almond flour/meal
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Mix together ingredients in bowl until smooth.
- Coat a separate bowl with non-stick cooking spray and then add the batter. Shape batter into a disk/English muffin shape.
- Microwave for 90 seconds.
- Remove English muffin from bowl and allow to cool.
- Cut English muffin in half.
I wasn’t sure if adding a whole egg to the recipe would make it weird and rubbery, but the melted butter added moisture that kept it soft and chewy—just like a real English muffin. It also toasted really well!
I seriously love this English muffin recipe. It will definitely become a staple in my diet!

I was wondering if this would work with normal flour?
It might! Let me know how it turns out if you try it!
Yumm can’t wait to try this! Do you think ghee instead of butter would work?
Probably!
I do not have almond flour…but might try it with rice flour…who knows, maybe the texture will be fun!
Made one this morning for the first time and it was super delish! Thanks for an easy and quick GF recipe for this struggling bread addict!
I have been on the SCD diet for about 3 years. I discovered this recipe yesterday, and (replacing baking powder with baking soda) enjoyed a soft-cooked egg on top of it with sliced avocado…yummy! Then, today I got the idea to toss in 1/2 a mashed banana, a few shakes of cinnamon, and a few walnuts. It was delicious! I cut it in half and drizzled honey on top since it was a little less sweet than I wanted. I am excited about all the different things I can try now! Thanks for the recipe!
So excited to have found this recipe, and that is it SUPER simple. Trying it in the morning!
You can throw this in a little ramekin and microwave it for the same length of time and it’s like a muffin, too. Thanks for this recipe. I had seen others, but this is definitely the easiest and least fussy of the recipes. Good too.
I love this recipe! I’m out of almond flour, do you think it will work with flaxseed meal?
@Cortney: It might!
I just made this with brown rice flour and it was pretty good!!!
Made this for breakfast and loved it! I’ve been rocking the microwave flax muffin for a while now so this is a nice change & will be a regular for me.
When I saw this recipe, I honestly didn’t think a microwaved English muffin would be good but it was! I made is this morning and loved it along with my two year old son
I wonder if this would work in the oven, in those huge cupcake tins? I might just have to give it a try!!
Great recipe and taste great. Just how did you get brown multi grain look of the muffin. I made a couple and it came out with yellow egg color still good taste.
Just tried this recipe! So delicious! I was initially disappointed when I took it out of the microwave because it just looked like a fluffy yellow egg, but it did NOT taste like a plain egg. I smeared fruit spread over each half and it tasted like a delicious biscuit/English muffin. It took less than 3mins! I’m so impressed! Thanks!
Hi Tina! I just tried this for the first time, and yum, it’s great! I didn’t really even need the egg on top, since it was so eggy to begin with. Just ate it toasted with a pinch of salt and was in 7th heaven. Here’s the thing though: I don’t really trust microwaves. I almost never use it except to reheat coffee. What do you think about baking these? I have these big ramekins that are the perfect size for an English Muffin, and thought that might work. 15 minutes at a high temp like 425-450? I wonder…
