It’s day two of using what I have at home because I am too lazy to go to the grocery store. Thank goodness I have a lot of potatoes in my pantry, because there is so much you can do with them.

I’ve never made a flatbread before, so I decided today would be a great day to recipe test. Because I wanted my flatbread to be very healthy and gluten-free, I used oat flour for this recipe. It’s really easy to make and all I do is just throw the oats into my blender and blend for a few seconds until flour-like.

Not sure how to use oat flour other than bread? I’ll drop down a few recipes you can use oat flour with:

Easy Plant-based Lentil Burgers

Plant-based White Bean Burgers

Lentil Meatballs

I wanted this flatbread to be as plant-based as I can make them. So that means I didn’t add any oil, butter, dairy products, or any processed ingredients.

The result of the flat breads: they were super easy to make. They were pretty plain, but think of them as your normal no-frills bread. You can use them to dip them into hummus, fill them with vegetables, or make a flatbread pizza.

Feel free to add seasonings to your dough if you want more flavors to them. I wanted them basic, so I can add whatever toppings I wanted later.

Also, you may have realized that I didn’t use a flour bread roller. It isn’t for any fancy reason. I simply don’t have one. So I just used my hands. I’d say that it’s probably best when flattened with a roller.

But hey – I use what I got.

Ingredients:

1 medium russet potato
1 cup old fashioned oats

Directions:

Take one potato and chop into small pieces.
Boil in water for about 10 minutes, or until fork tender
Drain potatoes and set aside. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
While potatoes are cooling, blend one cup of oats for a minute, or until flour-like.
Measure out 1 cup of mashed potatoes.
Then, in a large bowl, smash potatoes with a fork.
Add oat flour to the bowl. Mix all together.
Then knead until you get a doughy texture. Add more flour if too sticky/wet.
On a dry surface, make a large ball of the dough.
Cut into four separate pieces.
For each piece, roll out a ball, then flatten out as much as you can.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the flatbread for 1-2 minutes on each side.
