Quick and healthy oat English muffin, homemade one. I promise this recipe will surprise you a big time!
- This is a brilliant in its simplicity recipe. English muffin, made exclusively of oats, yet stunningly resembling your usual store bought English muffins. Oh yeah, just without all those funny additional ingredients.
- The only minor downside to this recipe is you can do just one muffin at a time.
- It's a gluten-free (if you care), healthy recipe you will love. It's also handy when you suddenly are out of bread.
Oat English Muffin
For 1 English muffin :
- 1/3 cup rolled oats (any kind)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 tbsp plant milk
- Blend first 4 ingredients in a high-speed blender like Ninja until it resembles course flour. Transfer to a bowl, add remaining ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Transfer dough into un-greased ceramic ramekin, smooth out with a spoon and cook in a microwave, on a high, for 2 minutes.
- Let it cool until able to handle. Transfer on a cutting board and slice with knife into two halves.
- Carefully place in your usual toaster (vertical one) and toast to your liking.
- Ta-da! Isn't it tastier that your regular one? Enjoy!
Notes
- You can play with this recipe using oat flour or whole chia seeds, or adding 1 tsp of ground flax seeds for additional nutritional value, or, perhaps some black cumin (nigella seeds) for surprising bursts of flavor.
- No worry, the dough is not going to stick to ramekin :)
- I bet you will be very surprised when you slice into the cooked muffin - it so close to original English muffins. Only tastier.
- For suggested usage for these English muffins see my pictures below.
- If you don't have apple sauce, finely grate 1/2 of apple instead, or perhaps you have canned peaches or pears, use them! In fact, I'm not even trying to keep apple sauce in a house, I just use fresh apples as they are always on a hands.

I use fork to get it out carefully.
Bottom is a bit soggy which kept it from sticking to the bottom of ramekin.
Soo much like real bread..
Flip side, just like English muffin is.
I love it with homemade hummus and fresh salsa
Sweet version with almond butter, banana and chia seeds.
