Two Ingredient English Muffins

Two-Ingredient English muffins have changed the breakfast game in my home. They’re made with minimal ingredients, they cook on the stove which means I don’t have to wait around for the oven to heat up, and most importantly—they are absolutely heavenly.

These versatile breakfast muffins can be used as the base of your favorite sandwich, coated in a layer of creamy nut butter or sweet jam, or topped with avocado slices for the ultimate avocado toast. The options are truly endless, so get creative and mix it up.

If you’re ever bored and looking for something to do around the house, I highly recommend making several batches of two-ingredient dough (2ID) and storing them in the freezer. This is one of my favorite baking hacks because the dough lasts in the freezer for up to 6 months.

That means that by dedicating an hour or two to preparing as much 2ID dough as you can, dishes like homemade pizza, bagels, breadsticks, and pretzels will be infinitely easier and quicker to make. For example, these English Muffins can be prepared in under 20 minutes if you prepare your dough ahead of time. Can you imagine? Homemade English muffins in under 20 minutes! Um, yes, please.

Serve these homemade English Muffins at your next Sunday brunch or family breakfast, or bring them to work with a packet of nut butter for a healthy and delicious on-the-go breakfast. However you choose to enjoy this dish, I know you’re going to love it.

Key Ingredients

To make this easy breakfast recipe, you will need the following key ingredients:

• Self-rising flour: This can be found at any grocery store or made from scratch with a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Greek yogurt: Not only does Greek yogurt provide the ideal amount of moisture to our dough, but it’s also loaded with protein, probiotics, and tons of nutrients.

How to make Two-Ingredient Dough?

Two-ingredient dough is a magical invention that was designed to lessen the burden of cooking from scratch for home cooks everywhere. It’s made from a basic combination of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, which is then used to make baked goods like pizza, bagels, donuts, pretzels, and English muffins.

Self-rising flour isn’t talked about quite as commonly as it used to be, but it can still be found at most grocery stores. If, by chance, you can’t find self-rising flour at your local grocery store, you can easily make it from scratch with the following ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt

Ways to Serve English Muffins

Looking for some inspiration? Here are some of my favorite ways to serve English muffins:

• Make a breakfast sandwich. By adding a fried or scrambled egg, a slice of cheese, and a layer of bacon or sausage, you can instantly create the breakfast sandwich of your dreams. No Dunkin Donuts run necessary!
• Top them with nut butter. From almond to peanut to cashew, nut butters are loaded with heart-healthy fats and beneficial nutrients that make them excellent additions to a healthy breakfast or snack.
• Coat them with jam or fruit compote. If you prefer your breakfasts on the sweeter side, try serving these breakfast breads with a layer of jam or homemade fruit compote. This Berry Chia Jam would be delicious.
• Make avocado toast. Ah, every millenial’s favorite breakfast! I’m no exception. This dish serves as the perfect base for an amazing avocado toast. Don’t forget to top it with sesame seeds and sea salt, you’ll thank me later!
• Use them for homemade pizzas. For a quick and easy lunch, add some pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese to your muffins before popping them into the toaster oven. In just a few minutes, you will have delicious homemade pizzas. Breakfast pizzas are delicious too!

How to Store English Muffins

Two-Ingredient English Muffins are fantastic for making in big batches, because they keep really well both in the fridge and in the freezer. If you’re ever in a hurry and don’t have time to cook breakfast, you can simply grab one of these babies out of the freezer and pop it into the toaster. Add a swipe of jam or butter and you’ve got a super easy on-the-go breakfast!

To store this dish for later, you will need to first wait for it to cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight bag or container. Once properly sealed, it can be stored in one of two ways:

• In the fridge for up to 1 week
• In the freezer for up to 3 months
