Making a delicious homemade flatbread doesn’t get any easier than this. With just five simple, whole-food ingredients, it comes together in less than 30 minutes!
Not to mention, it's incredibly versatile. With a subtle nutty flavour that doesn't overpower, it's the perfect bread base for almost anything.
First and foremost, it goes deliciously well with hummus! Plus, it's my go-to pizza crust. I mean, who doesn’t love a good flatbread pizza?
I also love serving it with soup and charcuterie boards. And, of course, it makes a yummy gluten-free base for open-face sandwiches and tuna melts. You can also spice up your homemade Flatbread by topping it with cheese, your favourite herbs or (my fave) everything but the bagel spice. Oh, and did I mention it makes the yummiest gluten-free garlic sticks and bruschetta?
One last thing I can't forget to note is that you can easily turn it into a crispy, crunchy flatbread by baking it for five to ten extra minutes!
Is Almond Flour Flatbread Healthy?
This Homemade Almond Flour Flatbread is a nutrient-rich, naturally gluten-free, slow-carb option made with only five real food ingredients.
Slow Carb (Better for Blood Sugar)
The presence of protein, fats, and fibre in almond flour causes a slower breakdown of nutrients and carbs, resulting in a slower, steadier rise in blood sugar.
So, this Easy Almond Flour Flatbread is an excellent option for those trying to lower or balance blood sugar levels.
Protein & Nutrient Rich
Almonds (and almond flour) are a great source of many vitamins and minerals. They’re rich in magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium. Not to mention, an excellent source of protein and vitamin E.
Suitable for Many Dietary Needs
Made with a blend of arrowroot, almond flour and water, this Flatbread is naturally free of grain, dairy and oil. Making it suitable for many dietary needs/preferences, including gluten-free, paleo, vegan and WFPB.
Seasonal Benefits
This Almond Flour Flatbread is a staple I love to enjoy all year round. As mentioned above, it's deliciously versatile and can be dressed up with a variety of seasonal toppings.
Winter- This Flatbread is full of fibre, protein and healthy fats that keep us satiated and warm in the cooler seasons.
Late Summer - Almonds and arrowroot provide that sweet flavour (and white colour) associated with the harvest season. So, this yummy Flatbread can provide balance and nourishment to the spleen, stomach and earth element during late summer to early autumn.
Seasonal Tips

- Top with cooling veggies to make refreshing summer sandwiches, pizzas and appetizers.

How to Bake Amond Flour Flatbread in the Oven
As mentioned above, this Baked Almond Flour Flatbread is so easy to make! It only takes a few minutes of prep time and just twenty minutes in the oven.
What You Will Need
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this Easy Flatbread. And no special equipment is required.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Unbleached Parchment Paper
- Oven
Ingredients
- Almond Flour
- Arrowroot Flour
- Water
- Baking Soda
- Himalayan Salt
Step One - Mix Ingredients
First, preheat your oven to 350°F
Then add almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix well. Next, pour in the water and stir until a thick batter forms.
Step Two - Spread On Baking Sheet
Once you have a thick batter, spread it evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. As you can see from my pictures, it doesn't have to be perfect!
Step Three - Bake
Once you have spread your Flatbread batter evenly on your baking sheet, pop it into the oven and bake for twenty minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
If you prefer a crispier flatbread, leave it in the oven for five to ten extra minutes. However, if you're using it as a Flatbread Pizza crust, bake it for fifteen minutes, add your toppings and continue cooking for another ten to fifteen minutes.
Once your Flatbread is baked to your liking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool before handling.
Step Four - Cut, Serve & Enjoy
Once your flatbread has cooled for a few minutes, slice it into squares or strips. I find a pizza cutter works best. However, a good knife also works well.
Add your favourite toppings or serve with your favourite dips, spreads and soups.

I was looking for a gluten free healthy flatbread recipe. This is IT! My husband and I both love it!!
Michelle McCowan says
Woohoo! So happy to hear you both love it! 🙂
Mark says
Mine was stuck to the parchment paper. I had better luck with a non-stock cookie sheet with a light spray of olive oil.
Michelle McCowan says
Thanks very much for your feedback, Mark! I'm glad it ended up working for you without the parchment paper. I personally avoid using nonstick cookware in my kitchen, so have never tested it that way. Great to know it works!
Though, I am curious as to why it was sticking. I’ve never run into any issues with it sticking to the parchment before, so I’m wondering if it possibly needed a few more minutes in the oven or if the consistency could have been a tad off. I find the odd batch of almond flour seems to have a little more moisture content and ovens can run high or low which could cause variations in consistency and cook time. When making mine, I like to make sure the consistency is similar to a thick pancake batter and when cooking I wait for the corners to begin to brown before removing it from
the oven, this way it begins to pull up off the parchment basically on its own.
Anyway, I greatly appreciate your feedback and am pleased it ended up working out for you in the end 🙂
