3 INGREDIENT PALEO FLATBREAD
Just three ingredients are needed to make this paleo ‘flatbread’- Perfect for those watching their carb intake yet craving something ‘bread’ like or a lighter vehicle to hold those wrap or sandwich fillings! These flatbreads are ridiculously easy to whip up. You do them over a stovetop but the key here is to ensure you cover the frying pan and cook on low heat- Doing this results in the perfect crispy outside and easy flipping. As mentioned, THREE ingredients are needed (spices don’t count and are optional). These are perfect for those watching their carbohydrate or calorie intake, or don’t care much for sandwiches or wraps but want to use it as a vehicle to the good stuff…
3 Ingredient Paleo Flatbread
Serves 4
Just three ingredients are needed to make this paleo 'flatbread'- Perfect for those watching their carb intake yet craving something 'bread' like or a lighter vehicle to hold those wrap or sandwich fillings!
Ingredients
1/4 cup coconut flour, sifted
2 tsp homemade paleo Baking Powder (use standard if not strictly paleo)*
12 egg whites (not from a carton)
1 tsp sea salt
Herbs of choice (I've used basil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and rosemary before)
Coconut oil/cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and whisk lightly. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, salt and any other spices and whisk immediately to avoid clumping. Set aside.
Coat a large frying pan with oil and on low heat, allow to heat up completely. Once hot, pour 1/4 of the mixture into the pan and cover immediately. Once bubbles start to appear on the edges, remove cover and flip and cook for 1-2 minutes. Repeat the process until you have four, large flatbreads.
Allow to cool completely before using it as a wrap.
Notes
Baking powder isn't technically paleo so a simple way to recreate a substitute is to combine baking soda and lemon juice- for this recipe use 1/2 tsp baking soda with 1 T lemon juice.
Flatbreads can be refrigerated for up to a week. Freezing them is not recommended, unless you heat them up again in the pan.
