I love English Muffins…or any kind of muffin, really. But at present I’m most interested in grain-free breakfast items that are not borderline desserts. Ask me tomorrow, though, and I might very well be back on the giant muffin train – but for now I’ll point you in the direction of 2 options: (1) Almond flour (recipe by Fitcupcaker) and (2) Coconut flour (recipe from Grain Free Groupie). The choice is up to you!
I used TJ’s just almond meal (I don’t think it’s the blanched variety many people recommend) – that’s why it’s speckled. But I like the speckles 🙂
I smeared my muffin with chocolate-hazelnut spread (“nutella”) I made in the Vitamix. Yummy for my tummy! The drink is an iced latte with no-strain hazelnut milk. I love how the coffee just sits on top of the ice and the bottom layer is still milky white. My colleague, C, had a coffee-drink calendar at her desk (2011) and I used to study the different drink pictures every month. I was never able to achieve this striated effect except now, accidentally.
Both options are single-serving microwave recipes, so if you are anti-microwave, sorry – this ain’t for you. But if you are not opposed to microwave usage these are great grain-free breakfast options that come together fast.
Another microwave, grain/dairy free option:
And if you didn’t click on the milk link…
Wow, so simple is right! I’m glad you’re finding all these fun alternatives.
Yah – I even fed my siblings the coconut flour version – they ate it up! But I think it helped that it was ready and presented on a plate to them 🙂
