Low Carb English Muffin

These are low carb lifesavers of a Keto morning. How many times you have woken up with that feeling, Oh I need a sandwich.!!!. But in few mins you realize you just started losing weight on Keto Diet and you don’t want your progress to stall again. Yes! I know that feeling. I am so happy I came up with these Quick Low Carb English Muffins, they make life, and my way of eating so much easier.  They can be made with different options for different diet restrictions. And each way I’ve tried them, they are still tasty.

Fun Fact:

Did you know that an English baker, a certain Samuel B. Thomas, started making these flat chewy things in America over 100 years ago, from his mother’s tea cake recipe. The English deny that they ever heard or saw anything like it until they were imported from America. Today you can find Thomas’ English Muffins in most English supermarkets. Imported from America

Oh That Crunch!!: Remember traditional English Muffins – how light and airy? The “nooks and crannies” in these toasted wheat based muffins were perfect with melted butter. You would have delicious little wells of butter with every taste-tempting bite. We have the perfect low-carb English Muffin substitute with texture close to the original and it toasts perfectly. You will not be able to tell the difference, really! Best of all, they are quick and easy.

Our recipe calls for only 5 ingredients. It is egg based and we like to use coconut flour. We have tried almond flour, both super fine and meal mix, but we find it is too coarse when cooked. The blend of the coconut flour, coconut oil, and baking powder produces a texture that is most like bread or a wheat-based muffin. You can add a small amount of psyllium husk powder to make your muffin fluffier and more bread like. We also find the coconut flour is more absorbent than almond.

Try the recipe below and let me you how it turned out to be. Let me know if you have your version of the same. I would love to try that as well.

An year back when I decided to switch to low carb/Keto diet for keeping healthy lifestyle , I started missing all the desserts which I used to enjoy a lot!!!

So I came up with this recipe which helped me in maintaining state of ketosis. If you are wondering what is KETO diet , you check here. It was a long journey to adjust in this new way of lifestyle change, I have created a blog for that also, it describes how you can start a keto diet as a beginner . Many people have few misconceptions about themselves that they cannot loose weight irrespective of anything because they have Obesity as a genetic factor in their family. So just to clarify your doubt this is not true, you can check complete details here .

Long Sweet History :

  • According to IDFA, Ice cream’s origins reach back as far as the second century B.C., although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been indisputably credited with its discovery.
  • Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with honey and nectar.
  • Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced drinks during harvesting.
  • During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D. 54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored with fruits and juices.

With time, ice cream evolved and eventually it’s ingredients. It has changed in such a rapid way that today most of the ice-creams are made with processed food like condensed milk / sugar /artificial flavours which has drastically impacted today’s health. And the fun fact is that most of the people are not aware of such changes in their day to day life .

BUT with few Keto friendly ingredients we can actually make a delicious healthy ice cream , with no preservatives!!!! So here is my take on the classic.
