Miss bread with breakfast? It only takes a couple minutes to make a paleo English muffins in a minute. And they are low carb and grain free!
Are you trying to move away from processed foods? The paleo diet seems to be the way to go. Although it’s tougher to do both low carb and paleo, it’s doable and really the healthiest way to eat.
I’ve been trying to do more paleo friendly low carb recipes on the website. And, personally, I find that my health is better when I eat more low carb whole foods. My weight is always better maintained as well.
Eggs are a staple for me. I like to eat them for all meals because they are so quick and easy to prepare. My husband prefers to eat his in a sandwich so I’ve been craving some bread with mine.

I decided to modify the low carb muffin in a mug recipe I have. Rather than use blanched almond flour, I used unblanched almond butter. You lose some of the benefits of almonds by removing the skins. That’s why it’s best not to buy the “naked” almond butter where the skins are removed.
It should take only half a minute or so to stir all the ingredients together. I used a standard sized ramekin and the muffin did puff up with a slightly rounded top.
If you are looking to do a sandwich, you may want to separate the batter into two smaller ramekins. That way, you can just slice each muffin in half and still stay within the serving size. If you are the only one eating, save the second muffin for later!
I’ve found that these little paleo English muffins in a minute are the perfect way to make a quick breakfast sandwich. Just prepare the muffins in the microwave and fry up the eggs. In a matter of minutes, you’ll have a delicious egg sandwich.
When we make our eggwiches, we add bacon and cheese. It’s quicker than going to a fast food drive-thru. And, they are so much healthier than the ones made with high carb bread.
It’s not necessary, but toasting each half of the muffin makes it much crunchier. And I love it when the butter melts and soaks into the bread. These paleo english muffins are also great for dipping into runny egg yolks.
When you want a quick and easy piece of bread with your meal, keep this recipe in mind. If you don’t have any almond butter, you can make the original recipe. But, I think using almond butter makes it tastier.
The first time I saw almond butter used in a low carb bread recipe was on the Low Carb So Simple website. You can find that recipe here. In fact, my first attempt at these paleo English muffins used twice as much almond butter and the muffin rose sky high and was super fluffy
I wanted something closer to a personal size. So, I decreased the amount of almond butter to better fit a serving. That was done just in case someone wanted to eat the whole muffin.
The fluffier version of the muffin in a minute may need to be tweaked more to use as a cake recipe. And I’d probably use the blanched almond butter for a sweet cake recipe.
Some people aren’t fond of using a microwave for baking. I was that way at first. But, the microwave doesn’t destroy the food any more than traditional cooking methods. And, it’s completely safe.
Do you bake personal sized recipes using your microwave? If so, what’s your favorite?

Brittaney McDaniel says
How could I make a lot of these at once? Oven? What kind of pan?
Lisa says
I’d use baking rings on a sheet pan or a muffin top pan.
Shannon Hopkins says
I tried this. I am sorry but it was not good, to put it nicely. It was so dry I could not swallow it without a drink. It puffed up out of the mug. Not sure if I did something wrong but I followed the recipe exactly. Any suggestions?
Lisa says
The coconut flour measurement may have been off as different brands can vary. You may want to try just 2 teaspoons next time.
Tess says
Substituted 1/2 butter for avacado and it was very moist, my new favorite morning toast replacement.
Lisa says
I’ll have to try it that way. I love the taste of butter in low carb bread. Thanks for sharing!
kelly says
Thank you for this recipe. Any ideas on a wheat free/nut free flour substitution?
Just getting started with all of this, so not sure what works in place of
Lisa says
Sunflower Butter (AKA Sunbutter) should work.
Tish says
This is delicious! I substituted the egg for one egg white. Yummy!
Lisa says
Glad it worked out with an egg white.
Terita says
Lisa, I look forward to trying this but instructions say “remove the muffin from the cup”. What type of cup?
Lisa says
I use a ramekin or a small round Pyrex storage container.
Sarah says
What can I use in place of almond butter? Would sugar free natural peanut butter work? Can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Thank you 🙂
Lisa says
Any unsweetened nut or seed butter should work.
Sarah says
Thank you….looking forward to trying this recipe!!
M.Schmitt says
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I miss my toast with breakfast.
Lisa says
It is a good sub!
MICHELE ROSS says
Thanks for the recipes! Love to have toast in the mornings!
Lisa says
Enjoy!
Maria says
Would Almond Paste work as well as Almond Butter? I’m new to this so just learning about some of the low carb ingredients to work with.
Lisa says
I’m pretty sure it won’t, but you could try.
txgrandma says
Great idea! I have tried the almond flour recipe using sunflower butter and almond butter and loved them. I will try the coconut flour version for my next batch. I always make at least 4 at a time (just me) and keep the extras in the refrigerator to toast as needed. I also love to use a pat of butter after toasting and made a cinnamon/sugar sub to use on the top. A great occasional treat!
Thanks for all your great recipes!
Linda says
Can you make these and put them in the refrigerator and take them out when needed and toast them then
Lisa says
You can. In fact, that’s exactly what I do with them.
Sarah says
Can these be frozen? Toasted right away or do they need to be thawed out?
Lisa says
I haven’t tried it, but I’d say they can be toasted right from the freezer.
Randy Kilbourn says
I’m wondering if I could replace the Tbsp. of coconut flour with almond flour?
Lisa says
I’d have to give it a try. The texture might be a bit different, but it should work.
Linda says
I cannot wait to try this!! I am so tired of sweet protein bars for a fast on the go breakfast. Would love a bacon/cheese sandwich!!!
Lisa says
It is the missing piece of a delicious breakfast sandwich!
Tania Stende says
This looks good. I realize that it is supposed to be paleo but can I use regular butter instead of almond butter and would the amount change?
Lisa says
Almond butter is a key ingredient. You can use butter in place of the coconut oil, though.
Maria Lourdes Estrada-Ebben says
I tried it for the first time today! But since I do not have almond butter at the moment, I substituted it with butter. It is delicious! I will buy almond butter next time. I might taste the difference. Thank you for this easy breakfast for a busy working person like me!
Lisa says
Good to know the butter worked. I find adding a bit more fat keeps them from being too dry.
Medolark says
No fiber in this recipe?
Lisa says
There’s about 2g fiber. Updated!
Jennifer says
Hi! Can you tell me please if the nutrition information is for both servings or just one?
Thanks so much, can’t wait to try this, wow!
Jennifer says
Also.. any idea how many grams of carbs/serving are fibre vs sugar? Sorry, I’m just in the strict intro keto stage, so every microgram counts <3
Lisa says
Amounts for half the muffin are located in the top right of the recipe card.
Lisa says
It’s for half the muffin so double for it all.
Dragana says
Cool, tanks!
Dragana says
Thx for the recipe! Can it be made in a regular oven (on what temperature an how long)?
Lisa says
I’m thinking 350F for 10-15 minutes, but not sure of the time. You’d need to just take it out when it passes the toothpick test.
