10-Minute Keto English Muffin

I love this easy recipe for a quick keto English muffin that you "bake" in your microwave.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • Pinch Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons almond flour blanched, finely ground; 21 grams
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder gluten-free if needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the butter in a microwave-safe 4-inch ramekin or mug. Melt it in the microwave, then allow it to slightly cool.
  2. With a fork, mix in the egg and salt.
  3. Mix in the almond flour, thoroughly mixing until smooth. Finally, mix in the baking powder.
  4. Microwave for 90 seconds, until puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Invert the muffin to a cutting board and allow the bottom to air out for a couple of minutes. It will be very moist. If the bottom sticks to the ramekin and the muffin won't come out, carefully loosen it with a spoon.
  6. Cut the muffin crosswise into two slices.
  7. Toast the slices in a greased skillet or use the toaster on the lowest setting.
  8. Butter generously and enjoy!

Notes

  • The ramekin I use holds about ¾ cup (6 ounces) of liquids. But you want it to be wide and shallow, not small and deep. So, the diameter is important here.
  • For the best results, you should toast the muffins on both sides in a buttered skillet. However, I often use a toaster on the lowest setting, and the results are fine, though not as good as skillet toasting.
  • The leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. I microwave the muffins, toast them, cool them completely, and then store them in a Ziploc bag in the fridge. The next morning, I briefly reheat them in the microwave and they are perfect.
  • You can also freeze these muffins for up to 3 months. If stacking them, place wax paper between the layers.
