Ingredients
Oatmeal Crust
• 1½ cups oats
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Greek Yogurt Frosting
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup chocolate peanut butter powder
Toppings
• ½ cup blueberries
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 small kiwi, sliced
Instructions
1. Mix oats, almond flour, maple syrup, egg, butter, baking soda, sea salt and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. I recommend a hand mixer to mix well.
2. Once mixed, shape the dough into a ball with your hands. You will need to cup it tightly so it holds, and then spread on pizza pan. (A 12-inch pan works best.)
3. Bake at 375° F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust hardens.
4. Let crust cool for 20 minutes. While crust is cooling, mix your chocolate peanut butter glaze.
5. Top the crust with glaze and optional fruit toppings.
