Healthy Oat Pizza (Easy High Protein Pizza Recipe)
This easy healthy oat pizza is made with oats, egg, and yogurt for a quick, satisfying pizza base that cooks right in a pan and can be topped however you like.
When I want pizza but don’t feel like making traditional dough, this is one of the easiest alternatives I make. The base comes together with just egg, oats, yogurt, and a little salt, and everything cooks right in a pan. What I especially like about this recipe is how easy it is to change the toppings depending on what I have at home. Once the oat base is cooked, I add pizza sauce, cheese, and whatever vegetables or other toppings I’m in the mood for. It’s quick enough for lunch or a simple dinner, and the oat-and-egg base makes it more satisfying than it looks. Best of all, there’s no kneading, rising, or oven required.

How to Make Healthy Oat Pizza (Easy High Protein Pizza Recipe)
Blend the Pizza Base
Add the egg, oats, yogurt, and salt to a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour Into the Pan
Lightly grease a nonstick pan, then pour the oat mixture into the pan and spread it into an even round layer.
Cook the Oat Base
Cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden and the base is firm enough to flip. Turn it over and cook the other side until fully set.
Add the Sauce
Spread your pizza sauce evenly over the cooked oat base, leaving a small border around the edge.
Add Your Toppings
Add your favorite pizza toppings and cheese over the sauce. Keep the toppings fairly light so the oat base stays easy to handle.
Melt the Cheese
Cover the pan with a lid and continue cooking until the toppings are heated through and the cheese is completely melted.
Serve
Remove the pizza from the pan, slice it, and serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make oat pizza without an oven?
Yes. This recipe is cooked entirely in a skillet. After cooking both sides of the oat base, add your toppings, cover the pan with a lid, and continue cooking until the toppings are heated through.
Can I use oat flour instead of oats?
Yes. Oat flour can be used instead of whole oats and will create an even smoother pizza base.
Why is my oat pizza base falling apart?
Make sure the first side is completely set before attempting to flip it. Flipping too early can cause the base to break.
What toppings can I use?
You can use your favorite pizza toppings, including cheese, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, olives, cooked chicken, turkey, or fresh herbs.
Can I make this pizza ahead of time?
The base can be prepared in advance, but the finished pizza has the best texture when assembled and served fresh.
Can I make it spicy?
Yes. Add red pepper flakes, chili flakes, or another spicy topping before covering the pan.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contact can occur during processing. If you need the recipe to be strictly gluten-free, use oats specifically labeled certified gluten-free.
