Cottage Cheese Flatbread Pizza (Print Version)

Tender cottage cheese flatbread pairs with vibrant toppings for a hearty, high-protein meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Pizza Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
11 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
12 - 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
13 - Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Transfer cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
03 - In a mixing bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and oregano until a thick batter forms.
04 - Divide batter in half. Spoon onto the lined baking sheet and shape each portion into an oval or round flatbread, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flatbreads are firm and lightly golden.
06 - Remove from the oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each flatbread. Top with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, black olives, and spinach.
07 - Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This pizza secretly packs protein into every bite, so it's both satisfying and nourishing.
  • The flatbread's tender texture means you get all the comfort of pizza, but none of the heaviness.
02 -
  • Trying to rush the first bake left me with soggy bottoms more than once—give it the full time.
  • Switching from rolled oats to oat flour sped things up and made the dough hold better.
03 -
  • Let the batter sit for five minutes before baking—this helps oat flour hydrate so the crust sets firm.
  • Add a sprinkle of Parmesan over the final cheese layer for more depth and a pretty golden top.
