Equipment
- 2 9-inch round baking pans
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning
- Pizza toppings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line two 9-inch round baking pans with parchment paper. Grease the parchment.
- In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, coconut flour, and pizza seasoning. Blend until smooth.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two pans, spreading to the edges. Shake the pans gently to even them out as much as possible.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crusts are firm to the touch. Remove and let cool at least 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, carefully peel the crusts from the parchment paper. Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the crusts upside down on the baking sheet.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
