• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
• 1/4 cup (30 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Pizza Toppings (suggested; adjust as desired)
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) pizza sauce
• 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup (60 g) sliced cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup (30 g) sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup (15 g) baby spinach leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix until a thick batter forms.
