Don’t pay high prices for English muffins! Make your own with these easy and healthier Bread Machine English muffins!
One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is breakfast sandwiches. Something simple, like sausage and cheese on bread or an English muffin. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I realized I could make my own muffins!
I had only bought English muffins when they were on sale, and even then they were like $2.00 for a 6-pack. When I calculated how much it would cost to make my own, my jaw dropped.
Watch this:
My recipe for these English muffins (shown below) cost a total of $1.19 to make.
This batch makes 15 muffins, so that comes out to 8 cents per muffin. What.
Compare that to a 6-pack that costs around $2.00, or 33 cents per muffin.
That’s crazy! These are all ingredients you may keep in the house anyway, so why not make a cheap and healthy version of a great breakfast food?
How to make bread machine english muffins
The first step is to add the water, milk, egg, oil, honey, salt, flour, and yeast in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Set the bread machine on the “Dough” setting and let it run, about an hour and a half.
When the dough’s finished, set it on a cutting board, knead it a few times, then roll it out with flour and cut it into circular shapes. I’m fancy and using a tuna can!
Place the muffins on a tray and cover with a towel for about 30 minutes to let them rise.
After the muffins have risen, heat up a griddle (or a regular pan will do) and place a few muffins at a time, cooking a couple minutes on each side until the tops are brown. No cooking spray required, they cook just fine without!
How can you serve these english muffins?
You can toast these in your toaster oven and eat with butter or peanut butter. Or make your own copycat Egg McMuffin!
One of our favorite ways to eat these is with a sausage patty and a slice of cheese. It’s enough to keep us full for hours; and seriously, nothing beats the taste of a homemade English muffin.

Hi, just wondering if I could make this recipe using a flax egg instead of an actual egg since we have allergies?

I've never used a flax egg for this, but I imagine that it would be just fine!

Can you use just all purpose flour only?

Oh my goodness! This was first sojourn into making English muffins and how easy and delicious! My daughter even said “they really look like English muffins in the store!”. I added 1/2 cup of my sour dough starter and just a bit more flour and it worked beautifully!

Thank you for this recipe! My cutter was a bit smaller so I ended up with 17 muffins. I added some apple pie spice to it (since the 1st day of fall is next week!) and it turned out so good! They were so light and fluffy inside. I added coarse corn meal to the outside before cooking in a cast iron skillet for extra crunch.

I accidentally did all 3 cups as whole wheat flour and they turned out ok. I did however roll them thinner than I should have. Next time I’ll get it right!
