Cottage Cheese & Oat Flatbreads
There’s something so satisfying about a flatbread that’s both delicious and packed with nutrients! These Cottage Cheese & Oat Flatbreads are the perfect combination of soft, flexible, and slightly crispy edges, making them a fantastic base for sandwiches, dips, or even mini pizzas. The magic happens with just a few simple ingredients: oat flour, cottage cheese, and eggs—bringing together fiber, protein, and healthy fats in one easy-to-make recipe.
What makes this recipe even more special is the power of oats. Oats aren’t just a staple for breakfast; they’re an incredibly nutritious grain loaded with soluble fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc. Their beta-glucan content helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes gut health, and supports heart function by lowering cholesterol. Including oats in your diet can provide sustained energy throughout the day while keeping digestion in check. If you haven’t made oat-based flatbreads yet, this is your sign to start!
This recipe is gluten-free and packed with high-protein ingredients, making it an excellent choice for a balanced diet. These flatbreads are simple, versatile, and a great way to add more whole foods to your daily routine.
Pair these flatbreads with hummus, avocado, or your favorite spread, and you’ll have a nourishing meal that feels as good as it tastes.
