Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup almond flour

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
I blend the cottage cheese until smooth using a food processor or blender.
In a mixing bowl, I combine the blended cottage cheese with almond flour and stir until a dough forms.
I spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a flatbread shape – about ¼ inch thick.
I bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Once cooled slightly, I slice and serve it as desired.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20–25 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Variations

I often add a handful of chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley for extra flavor. For a more savory version, I like to mix in garlic powder, onion powder, or a sprinkle of shredded cheese. If I want a spiced version, a pinch of chili flakes or za’atar gives it a nice kick.

Storage/Reheating

I store the flatbread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I simply place it in a toaster oven or a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until it’s warm and crispy again. It also freezes well – I just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper.

FAQs

What kind of cottage cheese works best?

I prefer using full-fat or 2% cottage cheese for better flavor and texture, but low-fat versions also work fine.

Can I use a different flour instead of almond flour?

Yes, I’ve tried coconut flour, but it absorbs more liquid, so I use less. Start with ⅓ cup and adjust the texture as needed.

Is this flatbread keto-friendly?

Absolutely. Both cottage cheese and almond flour are low in carbs and high in protein and fat, making it great for keto.

Can I make it in a skillet instead of baking?

Yes, I’ve cooked it in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Just make sure to spread it evenly and flip carefully once it sets.

How do I make it even crispier?

I bake it a bit longer, especially around the edges, or finish it off under the broiler for 1–2 minutes to add extra crisp.

Conclusion

This 2-ingredient cottage cheese flatbread is one of my favorite go-to recipes when I want something quick, healthy, and satisfying. With minimal effort and endless customization options, it’s a fantastic addition to any meal plan. Whether I’m wrapping, dipping, or snacking, it’s always a win.
