Protein Pizza Crust

I love pizza, and I also love finding ways to add a little more protein to the food I eat. This protein crust has become one of my favorites.

I have tried a few different versions of a protein pizza crust, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It is made with cottage cheese, eggs, oats, cheese and chia seeds, and it is really easy to make.

I just add whatever toppings I feel like having. 🍕

Ingredients

• 200 g cottage cheese
• 50 g rolled oats
• 50 g grated cheese
• 3 eggs
• 1 egg white
• 10 g chia seeds
• 1 tsp baking powder
• salt
• oregano

How to Make This Protein Pizza Crust

Step 1 – Mix the ingredients

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Use a hand blender or a food processor to blend until smooth.

Step 2 – Let it rest

Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes so the chia seeds can absorb some of the liquid.

Step 3 – Bake the crust

Spread the mixture onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 175°C (fan oven) for about 15 minutes, until golden.

Step 4 – Add your toppings

Let the crust cool slightly, then add whatever pizza topping you like. Return it to the oven and bake until the toppings are done.

Storage and Serving

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer if you want it crispy again.
