Anyone Found A Recipe That Compares To Kinnikinnick Eng. Muffins?

I'm spending $15 a week on Kinnikinnick english muffins. I love them - they are the closest thing I've found to the taste and texture of french bread and they don't have an enormous amount of fat in them (I have trouble digesting fat). I've tried several recipes and mixes but nothing compares to the deliciousness that is those english muffins!

Does anyone have a good recipe? It doesn't have to be for english muffins, but for some sort of bread or biscuit without 8 million grams of fat (which disqualifies the recipe for me :( )

Thanks!

I know Bette Hagman has an English muffin recipe but I haven't tried it. My favorite bread is her 4-flour bread, the sesame seed variation is especially yummy. Do you have her bread book? It's great.

Yes, I have her book. I've tried the french bread and a few other recipes. They aren't bad, but they don't taste similar enough for me to switch from my beloved english muffins.

Her english muffin recipe calls for 1/4 c. of nut butter. That much would KILL me! <_<

Thanks :)

Yoiks, that is a lot of nut butter!

I'm not crazy about the french bread recipe so don't give up if that's all you've tried. French bread is THE hardest bread to fake since it's basically nothing but wheat, water & yeast. In my experience the best gluten-free breads have other flavors to compensate for the lack of wheat.

I haven't even tried those Kinnikinnick muffins... now I think I'll pick some up!

Leah

Have you tried making some of the recipes but just cutting the fat a little? I often do that just because so many recipes seem needlessly fatty... haven't tried it with her breads, but you might try the trick of adding some pureed fruit to add "mouthfeel"-- if you can tolerate fruit.

Thanks Leah! I'll definitely keep trying. I can tolerate fruit purees - I usually cut out the oil or butter and use unsweetened applesauce, which usually works well except the bread then has no flavor. I will definitely try her 4 flour bread. :D

Hm, a good question. I know that the Gluten Free Pantry has a good french bread and pizza mix. I've never tried it for this, but I bet you could make it into english muffins. If I knew how to make them I would give it a shot :) That would be nicer than buying the expensive kind!

Roben Ryberg has a buttermilk bread recipe in her book The Gluten Free Kitchen that is very good, and similar to my tastebuds to Kinnikinnick's English muffins (thouigh baked in loaf form--but you could slice and toast it). I'll be happy to PM it to you if you like (don't know if I'm allowed to post it here). Her recipes use ONLY potato starch and cornstarch, which is interesting--no rice flour.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
