Are you gluten intolerant or just looking for a bread substitute that’s a little bit healthier? Coconut flour, when combined with egg whites, creates a super-fluffy bread-like texture that’s an excellent replacement for conventional breads. And it’s simple to make.
These flatbreads take minutes to prepare on the stovetop. Try topping them off with refried beans and fresh taco toppings for an easy Mexican-inspired lunch or using them as pizza crust.
My family and I love Italian and top our flatbreads off with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella cheese and sliced basil. These flatbreads make a great canvas for your favorite pizza toppings.
