So, I don’t know if you know this, but I’m kind of a big deal.
Once upon a time, I was hungry. I checked the fridge to see if the food fairy had stopped by yet, but she hadn’t. I was stuck with mere staples. (Thank the LAWD they happened to be keto staples. amirite?)
So, here I was with a half-empty bag of coconut flour, a couple eggs, some cheese, a little bit of deli meat, and some kinda wilted spinach.
And then this happened:
Uh, yeah. That's a flippin' panini.
And it was freaking delicious. And ridiculously simple. So efficient!
I posted that picture in a big keto group on Facebook, and people went cray-cray for it!
So, because this happy accident was so dang simple, I started playing around with it.
And then BAM:
Cheddar onion hamburger bun!
That happened.
But, oh no, that wasn’t enough!
Yeah. A strawberry shortcake. With raspberry reduction. I was feeling fancy.
Did you just feel your boring diet food standards shattering? Oh, the mutiny!
Kachow!
Blam-o!
Cheese pizza!
Thwip! (?)
Bacon, egg & cheese biscuity goodness!
Pew, pew, pew!
Pumpkin French toast with cream cheese blob!
… Ahhhh!
A garlic-herb biscuit to accompany my mommy's wonderful chicken devan!
Yeah!
Uh, yeah. Those are microwave cinnamon rolls. That are good for you.
Believe it or not, all the food in the pictures above was made from the same basic recipe, with a small addition or tweak here and there. And they were all made in the microwave! (Maybe a good toasting in a pan with some butter, here and there. The pizza was finished in the broiler.)
So, with a microwave and a little bit of creativity, the keto culinary world is at your finger tips. There’s a healthy sub for just about anything you can think of. No excuses!
Here’s the recipe!
1 egg
2 T coconut flour (or almond flour, So I’m told. I’ve never tried it this way.)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 T water (or heavy cream or whatever)
1 T melted butter
Mix the dry. Mix the wet. Mix the dry and wet. Smoosh into a greased, microwave-save container of your choice. Microwave for 60-90 seconds (depending on your container.) Let it cool a bit.
It’s seriously that easy.
Here’s the nutrition facts (for the basic coconut flour version):

If they’re just microwaved, how did you get some of the sides to brown so delicious-looking-ly?
Microwave, then toaster?
Ah! Yes. But in a pan. Usually with butter. I just meant like the bread bases for the recipes are made in the microwave.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Thank you for clarifying! Such a novice at cooking, so that helps 😀
Pew pew pew!!! LOL All praise the Alison Bread!!!!!
And oh yes. It is awesome. I toasted mine. And dipped it in my eggs. Like….toast. hazzzah
Yaay! Thank you for sharing this, now I can pin your recipe instead of hoping I can find it on the facebook page when I need it. 🙂
Glad you like it! 🙂
It looks great!!!! Congrats on getting started. I can’t wait to see all your recipes!
Thank you so much for your support! 🙂
And the French toast? Nuked, then dipped and pan fried? Yum, girl.
All hail, Alison’s Bread.
Yep!
What would you suggest for baking the “bread” if you don’t have a microwave?
People have had success with baking it for about 15 minutes at 375°, so I’ve heard. Maybe a toaster oven might work, too?
Did you ever post how you altered it for the pumpkin bread? Because that looks awesome.
Yeah, I did. I don’t remember exactly, but you could search the group for it. I’m on mobile or I would.
Thanks. Found it.
“This is based on that coconut flour/egg bread I posted about the other day. The only changes: instead of water I used HWC, and I replaced the butter with 1/4 c of canned pumpkin. I also added a bunch of pumpkin pie spice and liquid splenda.
The icing is just an ounce of cream cheese and like a quarter cup of HWC and some sweetener whipped until fluffy. The cake was kinda warm when I iced it, so it melted a little.”
Awesome! Thanks for posting it here.
Mind blown! This looks so freakin good! I am kind of in disbelief I could eat this and still lose weight! its looks almost too good to be true! I am so excited to try this, thank you!!!
……cinnamon roll recipe plz?/? girlfriend (non-ketoer) just discovered cinnabon (god help us both), and I am jonesing badly
The roll:
Basic Alison Bread, but with a few changes:
HWC instead of water
extra tablespoon of butter
Splash of vanilla
2 pkt Truvia
added 1 tsp psyllium husk (for chewiness)
Cinnamon filling:
1 T butter
2 pkt Truvia
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Mix all of that together, then microwave it for like… thirty seconds. Set it aside.
Glaze:
3 T HWC
2 pkt Truvia
Splash of vanilla
Combine cream and Truvia, heat on stovetop (or microwave!) until bubbly and slightly thickened. Stir in vanilla. Set aside.
On a piece of plastic wrap, form the “dough” into a long strip. Spread the cinnamon-y mixture over it.
Roll it up like sushi! Then stick it in the freezer for like… 10 minutes.
Cut it into thirds, stick it in a measuring cup or something smallish. Microwave for 60-90 seconds and top with glaze (and extra butter, if you want. And you do.)
Can’t wait to make this!! Thank you so much hehe
Sorry, derp moment what is HWC in place of the water?
Heavy whipping cream!
I am so happy I found this! Can I substitute the water/HWC with Almond Milk? Have anyone tried this?
It’d be worth a try!
made this, put a bunch of garlic powder in, topped with a laughing cow triangle, a bunch of feta, and havarti. so good! this is by far the best bread replacement i’ve had!
Why do o not own cream of tar tar whaaaaas!! I want this now! Oh well, I will have to get some tomorrow and dream about this for now..
Holy crap, you are a genius! I saw you on the facebook page and everyone was talking about “Alison Bread”. I got the ingredients a few days ago but never got around to trying it until about 20 minutes ago. I was sooo impressed when i took it out of the microwave and it had actually turned into bread! I have a few questions that maybe you can answer. Have you ever mixed up that amount and the only cooked half of it at a time to make a thinner bread? I think the amount I got out of one slice would be plenty for one sandwich but think it would crumble if I sliced it lengthwise. My second question, can i have a link to that amazon wish list? I seriously want to buy you something
I’m so glad you like it!
I usually make one recipe’s worth and cut it diagonally for like a “half sandwich.” That’s plenty for me. If you just wanna use half an egg, you could totally halve it.
And, I mean, I’m not gonna deny presents, so… uh… here ya go: http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/1KDLHB9YIS97I
i dont have microwave or oven at all,
can i make it with a pan alison ? thx
Supposedly people have had success with baking it at 375° F for about 15 minutes.
Oh, I just saw that you don’t have an oven, either. You could probably make it in a frying pan. It might not rise as much.
If you’re going to use almond flour in place of the coconut flour, you need 3X the amount–so the recipe calls for 2T. coconut flour. You’d have to use 6T. almond flour to replace it.
To reduce your sodium (because it’s way more than the potassium, so no adequate offfsetting for hypertensives), use Calcium Carbonate powder as a sodium-free, sugar-free sub for baking soda: http://www.nowfoods.com/Calcium-Carbonate-Powder-12oz.htm
I like my salt where I can control it, and ready-made baking soda is LOADED with sodium! You can make your own baking powder (sodium-free, aluminum-free, and corn-free) as well: http://frugalliving.about.com/od/condimentsandspices/r/Baking_Powder.htm
How did you tweak it for the pizza crust? THANKS VERY MUCH.
All I did was stir in garlic powder and Italian herbs before microwaving.
Does WordPress not allow Pinterest pinning? How do I pin this please? Thank you for the recipes!
It should work like any other website! It’s already pinned a lot though, I think. 🙂
I just made this bread… Your a genus.
I can’t wait to make this! Can I omit the cream of tartar by chance??
You can replace the soda and tartar with an equivalent amount of baking powder.
Found out I can sub baking powder for the baking soda/cream of tartar. Wish me luck!
You may be able to get by without it. The baking soda does need something acidic to react with, though. You could also use baking powder in place of the soda and tartar, but that has corn starch in it, so I avoid it.
How can you in good conscience post all those pics of that BEAUTIFUL food and not give the recipes?? LOL… I NEED them all!!! I want to eat my screen right now! I saw the recipe for the Roll..but nothing else…or am I missing something??
Made this morning. OMG! THIS IS THE BEST BREAD REPLACEMENT EVER!!!! I also make the “Oopsie” bread which is fantastic but I don’t make it so often as it takes awhile to make so Oopsies are more of a treat. THIS however is an everyday bread. I followed the advice of Wenchypoo and made mine with Almond flour so I used 6 Tbs instead of the 2, and Alisons advice of using equal amounts of baking powder instead of the baking soda and cream of tartar. It came out perfect, like a softer version of an english muffin. Perfect. This was my “test” batch so I just had it with cream cheese and it was soooooo delicious. This recipe is how I like my friends, fast and versatile. Seriously I cannot wait to play with this recipe.
THANK YOU ALISON! I am so grateful.
I’m so glad you like it! I ❤ versatile recipes.
For subbing out ream of tartar and baking soda for baking powder would you use 1/4 tsp or 1/2 tsp?
1/4, probably.
Sorry but what is HWC
Heavy whipping cream! 🙂
Maybe I’m just overlooking it, but where are all the recipes for these items? They look delish.
No, I haven’t posted the recipes for variations. I totally will, though! Maybe I’ll do like a week-long theme or something.
I’m confused. Maybe I’m doing the math wrong. Your recipe says 230 calories, and 8 carbs. 1carb = 4 calories so if you do the math, 230 divided by 4 is 57.5 carbs. Is this incorrect?
The ingredients are not 100% carbs…
I did the math and everything worked out. Why are you dividing the carbs? The calories in the carbs have nothing to do with what is written up there unless you are calculating the percentage. This is only ONE serving, period…so what she has up there is correct. Total 230 calories, 18 grams of fat, 8 grams of protein and 8 less the 5 for the fiber = 3NET GRAMS of carb. If you are looking for the percentages, which I use for my totals for the day, this little muffin is 70% fat, 14% protein and 3% carb. This is a really good keto food!
Thanks for clarifying! 🙂
I’ve just always been a carb counter so it didn’t make sense when I converted calories to carbs. I’ve never counted calories

Lucky! If I go over on calories (fat, protein) I don’t lose.
Cream cheese BLOB? I’m there!!
loved this recipe! So simple and good. Thank you.
What is HWC?
These recipes sound great. I M new at low carb/Leto so would appreciate more specific instructions and since the replies were all so positive, I will definitely try several of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!!
JoAnn 🙂
And the people gathered and cheered for their Keto lifestyle has been enlightened!
This is amazing. I’m new to the diet and have been trying to get in touch with some Ketoians to keep me on track. Do you have the recipes for the items you made with the bread? Cheddar buns? Strawberry shortcake? Etc? Thank you!
I have made this into French Toast with great results. Today I was feeling lazy so I tried a different variation – mixed the dough and microwaved for about half the time. Then I used a spoon to make a well in the center, added a dollop of cream cheese topped with a bit of sugar free raspberry jam and then finished microwaving. Then I drizzled a bit of sugar free vanilla syrup on top. Also, I used 1/4 tsp of baking powder in place of the soda and tarter and it worked perfectly.
I came here from Reddit Keto – I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful recipe! I made it as posted, and microwaved it in a ramekin – I ended up with a huge biscuit that I sliced into 4 pieces – then used two of them for a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich (that I toasted in a skillet, as suggested). It has a lovely taste that could go anywhere (I love all your ideas).. I’m thinking buns for jamaican jerk burgers .. oh my!
Thank you so much – I want all of the recipes! They are so much healthier than foods labeled “gluten free”. You are wonderful!
I’m looking for a substitute bread for Holliday stuffing/dressing.
Reblogged this on The Culinary Goddess and commented:
Since this Culinary Goddess is going KETO..OMGSH!! I HAVE to share THIS AMAZING “Alison BREAD” YEP! THANK YOU KETO INCOGNITO 😉
Any chance someone has made this with a flaxseed egg or chia egg and it worked ok?
I am egg free.
I just made this for breakfast. PHENOMENAL! Thanks for this! (recipe was shared in a private LCHF group giving appropriate credit) And now that I see all the other goodies you made with these basic ingredients, whoa… I’m gonna have me some fun! 🙂
I am totally amazed! I cant even get a coconut flour pancake to hold together. Is that just me? Have you ever tried to make coconut flour pancakes? ANd I make them small…in an egg pan. I wonder if microwaving it is the trick? Must try!
Best wishes and Happy Healthy New Year!
PS I found you here, suggested by one of the posters here:

Hi Allison,
I love this recipe …so few ingredients…such little time! Unlike other pale breads I’ve made. I just need a little input on these please! 😦 When I cut it in half (english muffin style) both halves broke in half when I tried to lift it and spread with P.B. / Coconut butter. How can I make mine more sturdy? Would it be adding more cream of tartar? Thank you!
Has anyone made a whole loaf of bread using the basic recipe? If so, how much do you increase the ingredients to make it?
Looks incredible, I can’t wait to try! Could you clarify how much one serving is, maybe by weight?
Thank you! I’ve not had a lot of success with low-carb due to, I’m a bread-aholic. I bought coconut flour in hopes of rectifying that. I plan to use your recipe often.
