Total Time: 25–30 minutes
Yield: 2–3 flatbreads
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 large eggs
¼ cup oat flour (or almond flour for low-carb/keto)
¼ tsp baking powder
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or Italian blend – optional)
Salt & pepper to taste
Oil spray or parchment paper for baking
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Blend Cottage Cheese
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy (about 30 seconds).
3. Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, baking powder, and seasonings. Mix until you have a smooth, pancake-like batter.
4. Shape the Flatbreads
Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking tray and spread into round or oval shapes using the back of a spoon. Aim for about ¼-inch thickness.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are firm to touch.
6. Cool & Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from tray. Serve warm or store for later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I make it without a blender?
A: Yes, but blending the cottage cheese makes the texture smoother. If you skip blending, expect a slightly lumpier flatbread.
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
A: You’d need to substitute the cottage cheese with a dairy-free soft cheese alternative, but it will change texture and taste.
Q: Can I cook this on a skillet instead of baking?
A: Yes, on medium-low heat with a nonstick pan. Cook like pancakes for 2–3 minutes per side.
Q: Is this good for weight loss?
A: Absolutely! It’s high in protein, low in calories, and filling—great for a calorie deficit diet.
Q: Why did my flatbread come out soggy?
A: It may be underbaked or too thick. Spread batter thinner and bake until fully set and golden around edges.
