This easy avocado cottage cheese flatbread is great for sandwiches and wraps. It is just 3 ingredients and is low carb, high protein and keto-friendly. The flatbread takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.

This flatbread is so easy to make and is a great low carb alternative for bread. This is an avocado version of the popular viral cottage cheese flatbread. I like using it to make wraps and sandwiches, though it can also be eaten plain.

Ingredients

  • Avocado
  • Cottage cheese
  • Eggs

Avocado: This flatbread uses fresh ripe avocados. Make sure to use fresh avocados and not frozen ones which will add too much moisture.

Cottage cheese: This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese because protein absorbs moisture. The recipe will still work with most types of cottage cheese, but if you don’t use a high protein one, your flatbread may be a little more soft and moist.

Eggs: Eggs help create the structure for the flatbread.

How to Make Avocado Cottage Cheese Flatbread

  • The avocado, cottage cheese and eggs are all added to a food processor and blended until smooth. The mixture is then transferred to a parchment paper lined baking pan.
  • Bake until the edges and surface of the flatbread turns a light golden brown. Allow the bread to cool. Then use a knife to cut it in half. Each half can be used to make a large sandwich or wrap.

Expert Tips

  • For best results, use a cottage cheese with a high amount of protein. The one I like to use contains 14 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving.
  • Don’t add more avocado than the recipe calls for. Adding too much will make your flatbread too wet.
  • Either side of the flatbread can be used for the surface of the bread. I chose to use the bottom side (the side that touching the sheet pan when it was baking) as the surface because it looks similar to how regular flatbread looks.

This low carb flatbread is so easy to make. It only needs 3 ingredients and five minutes to prepare. The flatbread is low carb, keto-friendly and high protein. It is great for making sandwiches and wraps.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (428 g) cottage cheese, can use lowfat or 4% milkfat see note before starting
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large ripe avocado about 200 grams before pit and skin removed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a half sheet pan (18 x 13 inches) with parchment paper (using enough parchment paper so that it lines the bottom and edges of the sheet pan). Spray the surface of the parchment paper with cooking oil spray. This will help prevent the flatbread from sticking to the parchment paper and will help it come off easily later.
  • In a food processor, add cottage cheese, eggs and avocado. Blend until smooth. You can also use a blender to blend the ingredients.
  • Pour the mixture onto your prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across but leave a little bit of buffer from the edge (about ½ inch) because the mixture will spread a little as it bakes. Try to spread the batter as straight as possible around the edges so that your flatbread will be mostly rectangle in shape when it is done baking.
  • Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until surface is golden brown. The bread should also still be a light green color but with spots of golden brown on the surface.
  • Allow the bread to fully cool before attempting to remove. If you try to remove while it is still hot, it will break apart easily. Once fully cooled you can peel/roll the flatbread off the parchment paper.
  • Cut the flatbread in half so you end up with two large flatbreads for sandwiches or wraps. You can also cut/divide into 4 to make smaller sandwiches. I found it easier to cut the flatbread into 2 pieces and assemble two very large sandwiches which I then cut in half for a total of 4 sandwiches. Store any uneaten flatbread in the fridge.

Notes

  • Cottage cheese note: This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese because the protein helps absorb the moisture from the flatbread. I like using Good Culture brand (either low fat or 4% milkfat) (Amazon | Target | Walmart)* which contains 14 grams or protein per 1/2 cup. You can use other cottage cheese but your flatbread may turn out more moist and soft.
  • Half sheet pan is the most common size sheet pan that most people own and measures about 18 x 13 inches. I use Nordicware aluminum half sheet pan (Amazon | Target | Walmart).*
