Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) low-sodium cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (45g) oat flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) low-sugar marinara sauce
  • 4 oz (115g) part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (150g) sliced baby spinach or bell peppers
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Place the cottage cheese, flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt into a blender. Process until the mixture is completely smooth and no cottage cheese curds remain.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the batter into a circle or rectangle, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set and the surface looks matte and dry.
  4. Using a spoon, spread the marinara evenly over the base, leaving a 1/2 inch border for the crust edge.
  5. Distribute the shredded mozzarella and veggie toppings evenly across the surface.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and has small golden-brown spots.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the base to firm up, then garnish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes.
