How to Make Our Low-Carb English Muffin Bread Rounds
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals until smooth and stretchy.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add eggs, melted butter, vinegar, and the cheese mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Muffins
Lightly wet your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape into thick rounds resembling traditional English muffins.
Place on the prepared tray and lightly dust tops with almond flour for that classic bakery-style finish.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Allow the muffins to cool completely before slicing. Toast lightly for the best texture and flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
These low-carb breakfast muffins are delicious with eggs, avocado, turkey bacon, cream cheese, or sugar-free jam.
