Your family will cheer when you make these delicious Gluten Free English Muffins! Light and fluffy, it is hard to believe that they are gluten-free!
These Gluten Free English Muffins are a Game Changer!
As a mom, there are a few things I always like to have on hand.
A few examples are frozen (homemade) pizza dough, organic apples and Cliff Bars.
Another thing I always like to have - either fresh or in the freezer - is these English Muffins.
Sadly, these babies seem to go just about as quickly as I can make them.
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.

Yeey a fellow user of sorghum flour! It's one of my favourites to use, and I find people still need to discover what an awesome flour it is.
Sounds delicious with the quinoa, definitely need to try it! X

It is one of my favorites too! I put it in all of my blends. These are one of my favorites!

I have never heard of using quinoa to make English muffins. YUM!!!

I love the idea of healthy English muffins! But, is there anything I can substitute for the sorghum flour and brown rice flour? I also don’t have potato starch or tapioca starch. Potato anything is out for me, but could I use something else? I would make these today if these two new flours and potato starch had good substitutes. Plus, it’s madly snowing outside today (LOL)! I do have almond flour, almond meal, coconut flour, quinoa flour, flaxseed meal, garbanzo bean flour, Xanthan Gum, organic oat fiber, corn starch, psyllium husk powder, and Inulin. Any hope for healthy English muffins?

That is a lot of substitutions! I wouldn't feel comfortable giving advice with what you have on hand without testing it myself. I would hate for you to go to all that effort and have it flop.
