A quick gluten-free breakfast addition – no flour needed!

Yes you read that right! I never thought it would be possible to make English muffins without using gluten-free flour, so these bad boys are an absolute dream!

Because they are Paleo-freindly (aka grain-free) they can, unlike grain-based foods, easily be combined with other protein-rich breakfast items such as organic eggs, smoked salmon or some organic smashed avocado. Or if you share similar tastes to my husband and I – all of the above!!  😆 

There is also the option of adding some ceylon cinnamon and a teaspoon of organic coconut nectar to the mixture, if you wanted to make a sweet version. These go beautifully with a cup of ginger or cinnamon tea!

When they are ready, they will present themselves as fluffy and soft but I recommend toasting them if you want that traditional English muffin texture. They can also be frozen and will keep for up to a month (make sure you slice them in half first as this makes defrosting and toasting far easier!)

I have included the two methods of cooking them, depending on how much time you have and whether or not you own a microwave (we don’t and haven’t for a number of years!)

Yes there is something particularly satisfying about removing your creations from the oven, with the smell of fresh baking filling your kitchen – but if you prefer to microwave in this instance, no one’s judging you in the slightest 😉 After all, you have chosen to make an upgraded healthy version of a classically unhealthy breakfast favourite – so it’s win win all round!

Enjoy! Gen x
