🫓 Grain-Free Flatbread Recipe

🥣 Ingredients (makes about 4 small flatbreads):

1 cup almond flour (or ¾ cup almond + ¼ cup coconut flour)

2 large eggs (pasture-raised if possible)

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

2–3 tbsp water (add more for a softer dough)

1 pinch sea salt

🌿 Optional: ½ tsp turmeric or dried rosemary for flavor and anti-inflammatory benefits

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Mix the dough

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and salt. Add the almond (and coconut) flour and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time.

2. Shape the flatbreads

Divide the dough into 4 balls. Flatten each one gently between your hands or between two sheets of parchment paper until they’re about 0.5 cm thick.

3. Cook the flatbreads

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffed.

✨ Optional: Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a little sea salt while warm.

4. Serve warm

These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh from the pan with a generous scoop of homemade hummus!

🥣 Classic Creamy Hummus Recipe

Nothing pairs with fresh flatbread quite like hummus. It’s rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fats — and full of minerals that support energy and cellular repair.

🌱 Ingredients:

1 can (15 oz / ~400 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste)

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

2–4 tbsp water (adjust for creaminess)

1 tsp sea salt

Optional: pinch of cumin or paprika for flavor

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor or blender.

2. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually until the texture is creamy and spreadable.

3. Taste and adjust seasoning — more lemon for brightness, more tahini for richness, or a pinch of cumin for warmth.

4. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Top with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped fresh herbs if you like.

✨ Tips & Variations

🥕 Add roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes to your hummus for a flavor twist.

🌶️ Add a pinch of chili flakes if you love a little heat.

🫑 Try topping your flatbread with hummus, sautéed veggies, and herbs for a nutrient-dense meal.
