Ingredients

  • 1 cup (80 g) rolled oats
  • 1 large zucchini (250 g, cleaned and cut into chunks)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (optional)

Directions

  1. Begin by blending the rolled oats into a fine flour texture using a blender or food processor. Or, use store-bought oat flour.
  2. Clean and cut the zucchini into chunks.
  3. Use a hand blender or food processor to mash the zucchini into a smooth purée.
  4. In a mixing bowl, add a portion of the oat flour and baking powder to the zucchini purée and mix gently to combine.
  5. Add the remaining oat flour and mix again, ensuring not to overmix the batter.
  6. Heat a nonstick pan over low-medium heat.
  7. Spoon 1/3 of the batter onto the hot pan and use a spatula to spread the mixture, flattening it to a large-sized flatbread with a thickness of about 2 to 3 mm.
  8. Cook the flatbread until the edges start to appear dry, approximately 2 minutes.
  9. Carefully flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked to your liking.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the flatbreads are cooked.
