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.

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
