Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (225 g) low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) oat flour or finely ground quick oats
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (optional but recommended for flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray or a light drizzle for the pan
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil), 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, chili flakes for heat

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment and lightly spray or brush with olive oil so the flatbread releases cleanly.
  2. Blend the base: Add cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. This step removes the curd texture and gives you a silky batter.
  3. Mix in dry ingredients: Add oat flour, Parmesan, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend or whisk until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable, like a pancake batter. If it’s too thin, add 1–2 tablespoons more oat flour.
  4. Spread it thin: Pour the batter onto the lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread into a large oval or rectangle, about 1/8–1/4 inch thick. Thinner gives you a crispier flatbread; slightly thicker makes it more flexible.
  5. Bake: Bake for 12–16 minutes, until set and lightly golden around the edges. For extra color, broil on high for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely.
  6. Cool and release: Let it cool for 2–3 minutes, then slide a spatula underneath to loosen. Transfer to a cooling rack for a few minutes to keep the bottom from steaming.
  7. Serve your way: Cut into wedges for dipping, or leave whole for wraps. For pizza, return to the oven with toppings for 6–8 minutes.
