Ingredients

You can get all the ingredient details and step-by-step instructions for this gluten-free flatbread recipe from the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

• Almond Flour: A quality brand of almond flour will have a mildly sweet, nutty flavor. This is a great flavor for a flatbread, although it’s almost entirely cooked out as the batter cooks. There will just be a nice almost neutral flavor left behind. You can use a different gluten free flour if you need or want to.

• Tapioca Flour: A tapioca flour is slightly sweet flour and when it comes to gluten free baking, it’s a staple! Also known as tapioca starch, this flour is great for thickening batter.

• Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a great liquid for gluten free batter, because it hydrates the dough really well and has a subtle but delicious flavor. You can also use full fat coconut milk.

• Oil: You can use whatever oil you want in this recipe, but you’ll probably want to stick with one that has a light flavor for the best results. A light olive oil, or coconut oil, will work well. This oil is for pan-frying your flatbread.

Optional:

• Rosemary: You can add rosemary to this easy flatbread recipe for a sage-like and peppery flavor.

• Cilantro: For a fresh and citrusy flavor, add a little cilantro to your batter. Be careful not to add too much because it can take over the flavor completely.

• Salt: Salt helps enhance all the flavors of any recipe and a little salt can make a big difference, but it’s not required.

• Chopped garlic: Chopped garlic, or garlic powder, adda a great flavor. It is a tiny bit of spice and a nutty flavor that adds a lot to the flavor of this flatbread.

Instructions

Mix flours. Combine almond flour and tapioca flour in a large mixing bowl with a wooden spoon. (If using any seasonings or add-ins, mix them in with the four). Whisk to mix the flour well.

Add coconut milk. Whisk in coconut milk until you achieve a thick batter.

Let sit. Let the batter sit for a minute or so at room temperature. Add a pinch of flour if too watery.

Heat pan. Heat your non-stick frying pan or cast iron skillet on medium heat. When hot, add in your neutral oil for frying.

Pour in batter. Use a measuring cup (1/3) to pour the batter into the hot non-stick pan. When pouring, spread the batter into the shape you’d like. (circular or rectangular)

Cook. Cook the flatbread for 2 minutes or so – until you see tiny bubbles forming all throughout. The bottoms will be slightly golden.

Cook other side. Flip the flatbread and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Set aside. Remove from heat and let sit on a tea towel until you complete the next flatbread.

Serve warm. If storing leftover flatbreads, put them in an airtight container, and into the fridge for up to 3 days.

Expert Tips

• Use full-fat coconut milk to help moisten your homemade flatbread batter. The fat helps reduce the toughness in gluten free bread.
• Always let the batter rest in the large bowl when doing any gluten free baking/cooking.
• Measure your ingredients carefully and follow the instructions completely for the best results. This is important in any baking/cooking but especially gluten free cooking. Gluten free ingredients tend to be a little trickier to get right, but if you follow my lead in the instructions you should be good to go.
• A non-stick pan is really important because your batter will be a little sticky. You’ll be using oil, but you don’t want to end up with your flatbreads stuck to the pan.
• Cook a bit longer for a crispier flatbread but pay careful attention so they don’t get burnt.

Variations

• If you’re not looking for a vegan recipe, you can substitute the coconut milk for an organic Greek yogurt.
• Season with your choice of spices to make a delicious flatbread to suit your preference.
• Use this 3-ingredient flatbread as a breakfast wrap, flatbread pizza, and a lunch sandwich wrap. You can make a savory Philly cheesesteak flatbread or top it with sweet toppings and make it a dessert. For desserts, spread peanut butter or Nutella on this flatbread and top it with sliced fruit or other delicious flavors.
