Ingredients:
For the Low Carb Flatbread Crust:
1 cup almond flour (low carb & gluten-free)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Topping:
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup blackberries (fresh or slightly thawed if frozen)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for paleo; adjust for keto)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint or basil (optional for herbal freshness)
Pinch of salt
Optional Add-ons for Gourmet Flavor:
Fresh arugula or leafy greens
Drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg and olive oil. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients to form a dough.
4. Shape the Flatbread: Place dough on the lined baking sheet and flatten it into a thin round or rectangular shape (about 1/4 inch thick) using your hands or a rolling pin.
5. First Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm.
6. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, gently combine ricotta, blackberries, honey/maple syrup, herbs (if using), and a pinch of salt.
7. Assemble Flatbread: Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the baked crust.
8. Final Bake: Return to oven and bake for 5–8 more minutes, or until heated through and edges are golden.
9. Serve & Garnish: Let cool slightly, slice, and top with arugula and a drizzle of balsamic glaze, if desired.
