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.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Positive gliadin (deamidated) IgG, normal everything else?

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
