Healthy Homemade Oat Crust Pizza

Instructions:

  1. In a mini blender or food processor, pulse the oats until they become a fine powder.
  2. Transfer the powdered oats to a mixing bowl and add baking powder and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt and egg to the mixing bowl, and fold until everything is combined.
  4. Set the mixture aside for about 30 minutes to allow the oats to soak and expand slightly.
  5. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F (Gas mark 6).
  6. Cut a sheet of parchment paper large enough for a 9-inch pizza.
  7. Grease the parchment paper with spray oil and carefully spoon the dough onto the sheet, forming a ball.
  8. Spray the top of the dough with more spray oil, and then place another sheet of parchment paper over it.
  9. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten the dough until it forms a rough 9-inch pizza base. Be sure to handle the dough only with the parchment paper.
  10. Slowly and carefully remove the top parchment paper. If any areas are stuck, use a spatula to lift the paper carefully.
  11. Transfer the parchment paper with the pizza dough to a baking tray. Use a spatula to push inwards to form a more circular pizza base.
  12. Bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes or until the base is lightly golden and firm.
  13. Add pizza sauce, mozzarella, fresh parsley or basil, and any additional toppings you desire.
  14. Bake the pizza for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  15. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
