Healthy Zucchini & Oatmeal Pizza Recipe

(A delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional pizza!)

Ingredients:

• 1 large zucchini (about 300g / 10.5oz), grated
• 4 tablespoons (40g) rolled oats
• 100g (3.5oz) mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped)
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the zucchini:

   • Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
   • Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to ensure a crispy base.

3. Make the batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, rolled oats, shredded mozzarella, eggs, minced garlic, basil, salt, and black pepper.
   • Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

4. Shape the pizza base:

   • Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a thin, round crust.

5. Bake the crust:

   • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and slightly crispy.

6. Optional Toppings (before final baking):

   • You can add extra shredded cheese, sliced zucchini, or any preferred toppings before the final bake.

7. Final Bake:

   • Bake for another 5–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Serve & Enjoy!

   • Slice and serve warm. This healthy pizza is perfect as a snack or a light meal.
