Instructions
Instructions are for 3 servings. Please modify as needed.
Mix together coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk together. Let sit for a few minutes.
Place three dollops of the batter in a frying pan with melted butter, on medium-high.
Turn the bread after a couple of minutes and fry some more.
Serve with butter and your favorite topping.

You can also bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C) in a well-greased cupcake tin (about 3 inches in diameter). They will be more like bread, but lower in fat.

Add 8 oz container dry shredded parmesean cheese, garlic powder, chives or dill. Roll into balls place on baking sheet lined with parchment. Press to flatten. Bake til golden,turn halfway through to brown both sides. This recipe is a perfect base for any seasonings. Even better the say after as they dry a bit and become more chewy and bread-like but delicious either way. This is an awsome staple recipe for an keto meal. Thanks!

I can only get 5 silver dollar pancake sized pieces out of this recipe and we always fight over who gets it. ;)
This is super versatile:
Make breakfast sandwiches with avocado, fried egg, cheese and sausage patty or Turkey, swiss cheese. Cream cheese and avocado or toast after cooking in the toaster and use sugar free jelly or add cinnamon and vanilla to the batter, fry and serve with Walden farm pancake syrup.It's so easy with just 3 ingredients to make up fresh every morning. Do let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking
P.s. add a dollop of sour cream and chives along with
onion powder and garlic to batter for yummy biscuits to go with dinner. Brush the top with rosemary butter.55

I just made this recipe and was astonished by how easy it was!! Didn't turn out at all like English muffins, but an incredibly good substitute for bread. I needed something to serve with a fried egg because I love sopping up the runny yolks with toast. Instead of frying the bread in the pan I put them in a well greased cupcake tin in the toaster oven, and they turned out almost exactly like cornbread muffins. I sliced them in half, put a pat of butter on each half and threw them back in the toaster oven for a couple minutes to crisp up the inside. I am going to use the leftovers today for lunch with cream cheese and smoked salmon. YUM.

These are absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe (QTY 5 instead of 6) and baked them for 10 minutes in the oven using a bagel pan. They came out looking like donuts. I added butter and they taste really good! Not dry at all. I also used salt from a grinder.

These are gross, I don’t think you should be able to call these a English muffin. They have no flavor and smell bad.

Unfortunately there is not a good substitute for the eggs in this recipe. You may find our vegetarian guide helpful.

They tasted too eggy to me and lacked flavor. Next time I make them, I will add seasonings. I think they can great potential.

I made these today and I was really disappointed. They were very thin, and tasted like a stale egg omelet.

This recipe was not tested with almond flour. If you attempt the substitution, you will need to add at least twice as much almond flour as it is not as thirsty as coconut flour. Be sure to adjust the nutritional values to reflect the substitution.

They may have been over cooked? If not, you may try reducing the flour slightly or increasing the butter/coconut oil slightly.

I think a lot of you keto folks have lost your taste buds. I turned scrambled eggs into sandy eggs. They literally sucked all the moisture out of my mouth. I am new to keto but not new to cooking. I know how to cook. I followed the directions. Got a pile of dog food and against my better judgement I cooked it. For everyone that gave this 5 stars...good one. You got me good. For everyone looking try this...eat some top soil. It will be more moist.

I left them in the pan too long - my error. I only ever make the minimum amount of any recipe to begin with in case I don't like it. I'll do these again (without overcooking!) and probably have with berries and cream next time.

I love to experiment with recipes. Right away looking at the recipe, I knew I would need to tweak it for my personal taste. Before even attempting to make my very first GF, skillet bread I read the reviews which helped me a lot. I am a flavor person so I knew I would need more salt and some sort of seasoning to make this palatable. The next thing I did was adjust the egg/GF flour ratio. I do not like a lot of egg. Here is what I did and it came out great! I stuck to the 3 serving listed above: 2 tablespoons almond flour (Bob's Red Mill) 1 tablespoon Coconut Flour, 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder and 1/4 tsp Arrowroot powder, generous Himalayan Pink Sea Salt (I did not measure), Garlic Powder, Pepper, and 1 large Organic/CF egg, touch of olive oil (since I used only 1 egg). The consistency of these was perfect in the bowl, moist but not to wet or dry. I used a copper ceramic non-stick skilled with a touch of avocado oil and I cooked these up to perfection. They taste awesome and the texture is great. They actually slice like an English muffin. I ate my plain with a little butter but would be so good with avocado and salmon or bacon. YUMMY. If you cook a lot and love experimenting you will be able to take a base recipe like this and suit it to your needs. I knew I did not want my super eggy and I use Coconut flour a lot in baking (which can have a sweet taste) so I like using both Almond and Coconut. I am not trying to lose weight and I don't have DM so I am highly concerned about net carbs. I have autoimmune and I just want to reduce inflammation and eat right. I love that these are home made (no preservatives) and I use mainly organic ingredients so I know what I am getting. Enjoy because this can be amazing if you are willing to play around with the recipe and make it just how you like it.

These turned out much better than I expected. I read the reviews and added a tablespoon of cream cheese to the mix, I left it to sit for 10mins. I also added the egg yolks first then whisked up the whites a bit before adding too. It's a firm mix - I didn't know how it was supposed to look and was worried it was not runny enough! My first time using coconut flour and I'm converted!

Horrible! Don't call it bread when it's crumbly. On a quest to try a good low carb recipe.

Thank you for your feedback. One must be careful to not overcook low carb breads as they can be dry if overcooked.

I followed the recipe, using cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda 2:1 and using Australian tablespoon (4x5g teaspoons) measure. I heated the oven-style barbecue to 200C then turned it down a smidge, sprayed the barbecue plate with olive oil and divided the batter into two decent-sized blobs which I smoothed slightly. I turned them over after 3 minutes, first giving a quick spray of olive oil to the top of the batter. About 2 more minutes and they were on the plates and smothered with 2 teaspoons salted butter and topping of choice. He liked it and I loved it! Thank you.

I made these, using serving (1person). Can you tell me whether 1g carbs is total, I got 3 small of the muffins out of the mixture amount or is it for individual muffins

Uh, to me these are amazing keto pancakes, not muffins? Clearly, I did something wrong but don't care. The "pancakes" were great for keto. Found it important to keep the skillet on medium, medium-low heat to ensure they're not overcooked/cook too fast. Topped with mashed avocado and a fried egg for a satisfying breakfast.
Next up: Experimentation with herbs/spices (and baked vs fried) as a dinner side. Thanks for this one!

Oh FredFreddy, with Keto you have to be willing to substitute and accept. I lost 35lb in the first three months, was 185 now 150. It wasn’t hard. I just chose recipes that had food I would eat anyhow. Good luck.

I luv these. I make them to go with the DD “huevos rancheros” recipe, I make them to put in my DD soups either to dunk or crumble, and they’re sweet enough to be pancakes and just the tiniest bit of sugar free maple syrup will satisfy your sweet tooth. For those who say these are dry, are you using enough butter in the skillet?

if the batter is too thick, add a little heavy cream
