Instructions
Making the Flatbread
- Prepare oat flour: Grind rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they form a fine flour consistency.
- Heat water: Place a pot over medium heat and add 2 cups of water. Heat until water is almost boiling and starts to bubble.
- Add oats: Add the ground oats and salt to the hot water. Stir immediately and continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Cook the dough: Spread the mixture in the pan to help excess moisture evaporate. Continue stirring until the dough forms a soft, cohesive mass that pulls away from the sides of the pot.
- Cool and knead: Remove from heat and transfer to a flat surface. Let cool slightly, then grease your hands with olive oil and knead the dough until smooth.
- Shape portions: Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and set aside.
- Roll flat: Place each ball between two sheets of baking paper. Flatten as thin as possible using a rolling pin or press with a plate.
- Cook flatbreads: Heat a clean, dry frying pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 1 minute on each side, flipping several times until well-cooked and slightly puffed. Press flat with a plate if needed.
Making Oat Pizza
- Add toppings: Spread sauce on one flatbread, then add grated cheese, salami, bell pepper, and tomato slices.
- Bake pizza: Place in preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) and bake until cheese is melted and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
Making Breakfast Bowl
- Prepare base: Place one flatbread in a baking dish. Crack 2 eggs on top and add dollops of sugar-free yogurt.
- Bake: Bake at 356°F (180°C) for 20 minutes until eggs are cooked to your preference.
- Add toppings: Top with beef brisket, diced cucumber, tomato, cream cheese, and fresh parsley.

Health Benefits
This oat flatbread recipe provides exceptional nutritional value for weight management and overall health. Oats are rich in beta-glucan fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and promotes feelings of fullness, making it ideal for weight loss goals. The complex carbohydrates and plant-based protein in oats provide sustained energy without blood sugar spikes, while the absence of refined flour, sugar, and preservatives makes this a clean eating choice that supports digestive health and long-term wellness.
