After a long day, the siren song of carb-heavy convenience food can be deafening, threatening to derail your Keto goals. But what if you could have a satisfying, bready fix in under 30 minutes? This ridiculously simple Keto flatbread is your secret weapon. It’s versatile enough to serve as a side, a sandwich base, or even a personal pizza crust, saving you from temptation and keeping you deliciously on track.
Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups / 145g almond flour
• 1/4 cup / 30g ground flax seed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup / 120ml heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F / 150°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, ground flax seed, and salt. Add the eggs and heavy cream, mixing until you have a smooth, thick batter, similar to pancake batter.
3. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it evenly into a thin rectangle, no thicker than 1cm (about 1/3 inch).
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm to the touch.
5. Let it cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and prevents it from crumbling.
