Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Toppings of your choice: sugar-free marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, etc.
Instructions:
- Prepare Zucchini Base:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small oven-safe bowl or ramekin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, almond flour, ground flaxseed, unsweetened almond milk, melted coconut oil, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
- Form Pizza Base:
- Press the zucchini mixture evenly into the greased bowl or ramekin, forming a crust shape. Make sure the crust is not too thick or too thin.
- Bake:
- Place the bowl or ramekin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Add Toppings:
- Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. Spread sugar-free marinara sauce over the crust, then add your desired toppings such as shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, etc.
- Broil:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place the topped pizza bowl back in the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove the pizza bowl from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the low-carb oatmeal and zucchini “pizza” bowl hot and enjoy!
