Oats are known for their numerous health benefits, making them an excellent base for this recipe. They are rich in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which can help reduce cholesterol levels, improve heart health, and support digestion. Oats also provide a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals like manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium, contributing to overall well-being. These flatbreads are a fantastic way to incorporate more oats into your diet, especially if you’re looking for a healthier alternative to traditional bread.

The addition of yogurt in the batter adds a slight tang and a creamy texture, while the eggs help bind everything together, providing additional protein and making the flatbreads more filling. The slight sweetness from the maple syrup balances out the flavors, making these flatbreads versatile enough to pair with both sweet and savory toppings.

Whether you use them for sandwiches, as a base for avocado toast, or simply enjoy them on their own, these oatmeal flatbreads are a quick and healthy option that can easily be made ahead of time. Say goodbye to store-bought options and embrace this quick and healthy alternative for a satisfying start to your day.
