I love this collection of the Best Gluten-Free English Muffin Recipes and wanted to remind you about them as it’s English Muffin Day (April 23). Yay! I love a good English Muffin. (Note: Previously, you could find the English Muffin recipes in this part of my ongoing Bountiful Bread Basket series.) Plus, I have updated this post with additional wonderful English muffin recipes that I’ve discovered recently. I am totally certain that you’re going to love them all!

The Best Gluten-Free English Muffins Recipes.

Note that the best gluten-free English Muffin recipes are labeled for additional allergy-free and special diet status according to the individual authors’ labeling and the information available from their posts. However, I do not label recipes as nut-free unless the author has identified them that way as I don’t know the nut-free status of individual ingredients.

~ 2-Minute Paleo English Muffins—Two Ways from Running to the Kitchen ~ gluten free, grain free, dairy free, paleo, primal

The first option is a microwave paleo version of a traditional English Muffin and the second option is a Cinnamon-Raisin English Muffin version.

Reader reviews: “These are really good, especially the cinnamon and raisins ones.” and “This is a genius recipe! Seriously–I found it and immediately went to make a cinnamon raisin one for myself, and I’m completely smitten.” and “You are a genius. I am so in love with these…and 2 minutes?! I made them for breakfast today and bedtime snack again tonight. So stinking good. Thank you!”

Reader reviews: “So happy I stumbled upon this recipe! After changing my diet, I missed having an english muffin in the morning. These were delicious and so easy.” and “So good and easy and quick to make!!” and “Wow, these worked so perfectly with eggs Benedict! Knocked my socks off. I am gonna double or triple the recipe next time so I can have more on hand.”

Kathryn said: “Giving each side a quick browning on a hot cast iron pan gives them the look of an English muffin but the texture isn’t too far from a biscuit even with all the flax meal.”

Kat says: “English muffins aren’t actually muffins… and they also didn’t originate in England. Instead, they’re round, fairly flat yeast-leavened bread that’s a breakfast staple in the US (though they’re sometimes also made with a sourdough starter). What makes them different from many other bread and bun recipes is that they’re cooked on the stovetop instead of in the oven (although some recipes use a stovetop and oven combination).”

Reader reviews: “These are EXCELLENT! I refuse to buy the ones in the stores, and I’ve tried a few recipes, without luck. These have the right texture, nooks, crannies, and all the good stuff.” and “Made these this morning with a few changes. SOOO good! Thank you for curating an amazing recipe.”

Sandi says: “If you love English muffins, wait until you try this homemade gluten-free English muffins recipe. Slightly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside with lots of nooks and crannies.”

Reader reviews: “Love these English muffins!”

Reader reviews:  “Jules, I wanted you to know that I just received your flour and English muffin rings and made your english muffin recipe and it was delish!!! I am so excited!! I have ate 3 slices since it has came out of the oven.” and “Both my honey and my daughter said they were fabulous.”

Reader reviews: “Love them! I made them last night for my 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter. They had them for dessert with butter and strawberry jam. SO YUMMY and comforting.” and “They were absolutely yummy!” and “I made these tonight (ate late because of it, but well worth the wait). They turned out gorgeous, and SO tasty! I’m going to have one slathered with butter and homemade raspberry jam in the morning, and smile because they’re all MINE… and I’m not sharing!”

Reader reviews: “I just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOO Much for this recipe! These are just… Wonderful… Perfect… So delicious I ate five (FIVE) of the six the batch yielded… I replaced the sorghum and the tapioca fours with 1 cup of my gluten free flour blend (which has both flours in it) and then ate them with vegan butter. This will become my go to recipe for English muffins and gluten free flat bread. Thank you very much!” and “Made these this week but added 2 Tbsp of sugar because the quinoa I get is a tad bitter, even with rinsing, and I ground my quinoa into flour, have never found quinoa flakes. Even so, they were wonderful; beautifully moist and “bendable” for two full days at room temp (all sealed up). Then I froze them to prevent them getting any drier, will warm them with a tad bit of water to try & rehydrate. This will be a favorite of mine for sure.”

~ Gluten-Free Quinoa English Muffins from Wendy Polisi ~ gluten free, dairy free, egg free, refined sugar free, vegetarian, vegan

Wendy’s English muffins are made with a gluten-free flour blend that includes toasted quinoa flour (toasting quinoa flour removes any bitterness and adds a nutty factor). About her English muffins, she says: “They are just so darn good that even my hubby – who could generally be categorized as a bread hater – can’t pass them up. I’ve been making these for a few months now, and the kids still cheer when they realize I’m making them.

I love that not only do they work great as a quick breakfast, but they are also sensational for sandwiches and veggie burgers. They are a little bit of work to make, but they make a dozen and freeze well, so I’ve always found the effort well worth it. I just bought more muffin rings so that I could double the recipe and stock my freezer.”

Arman says that gluten-free oat flour can be used in place of the peanut flour, but the resulting muffins will not be as fluffy.

Reader reviews:  “So, I totally made your GF english muffin and loved it!” and “I made your English muffin with chia seeds in place of the egg the last time I made it- so good!”

Reader reviews: “Hi! So glad to have found this recipe. I’ve tried many paleo “English muffin” recipes and all were pretty “meh” until this one. Thank you!!” and “Hi Stacey — this recipe is so good! The muffins are soft, moist and yet have a crunchy crust. They rise beautifully, have great texture. I made them savory, with just sea salt for seasoning and they didn’t taste “eggy” to me or to other people who tried them.”

Patrick says: “English muffins are a fan favorite around here – and much easier to make than you would imagine. A small addition of baking soda may not be traditional, but it really helps ensure perfect nooks and crannies!”

 Reader reviews: “Hubby is making another batch right now!”

Your recipe is easy and fabulous.” and “Hi Kim, well you did it again. Thank you for a great recipe.” and “I made them this morning after the dough had been in the fridge for a few days and they were incredibly amazing! My husband couldn’t get over how delicious they were and he doesn’t even have to eat gluten-free! He said it was the best English muffin he had ever had and of course, I said the same! I know you know how I feel when I say I almost wanted to start crying!”

Reader reviews: “I made these today and they are easy, delicious and a dream come true for me.” and “The recipe is awesome and forgiving – I added the chia meal to the dry ingreds instead of wet! I’m still fiddling with the flours to perfect the taste but I’m so proud to have made muffins that look and taste great. They even have a lovely texture.”

      Thanks, Judee! Personally, I really like the quick and easy microwave recipes, especially the grain-free ones, because most of the time I would be making them just for me and I prefer eating grain free as much as possible! But as you say, there are so many recipes for readers to choose from, which is always my goal. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

      You’re welcome, Pat! You know how much I love it when I can give folks new options for GF living! I’m looking forward to trying one of the quick and easy recipes in this collection. And then another and another. I used to love English muffins before going GF.
