You just throw a few things in a blender, cook it up like a pancake, and boom—you’ve got a flatbread that works as a wrap, a pizza base, or even a snack on its own. I keep coming back to this recipe because it’s easy, satisfying, and it holds together beautifully, even when stuffed with all the good things.

🔬 Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
Cottage cheese brings moisture and protein. Eggs help everything bind and firm up. The oat flour gives structure without needing gluten, and baking powder adds that little puff of air for a soft texture. The result? A flexible, foldable flatbread with the perfect chew.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Batter too thick: Make sure to blend well—lumps of oat flour or cottage cheese can ruin the texture.
- Skipping preheating: A hot pan is key to getting that golden crust.
- Pouring too much batter: Thinner = better. You want it to cook evenly and fold nicely.
- No oil in the pan: Even with non-stick, a bit of oil helps it crisp and release better.
🍴 What to Serve With
- Chicken or turkey sandwich wraps
- Hummus, feta, and roasted veggies
- Scrambled eggs and hot sauce
- As a flatbread with butter or olive oil
- As a pizza base with your favorite toppings

👨🍳 How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread Wrap
Step 1: Blend the Batter
Add 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup oat flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional) to a blender. Blend until completely smooth—about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a quick spray or drizzle of oil to coat the surface.
Step 3: Pour and Spread the Batter
Pour half the batter (about 1/2 cup) into the skillet. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread it into a thin circle, about 6–8 inches wide.
Step 4: Cook Until Golden
Let it cook for about 3–4 minutes until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Use a spatula to gently flip it.
Step 5: Let Cool and Serve
Let wraps cool slightly on a plate or wire rack before using. They’ll become more flexible as they rest.
🧊 Leftovers & Storage
- Store in fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in a pan or toaster oven—don’t microwave or they’ll go rubbery.
- You can freeze, but thaw on counter and reheat in skillet for best texture.
❓ FAQ
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?
It might work, but the texture will be more dense and less stretchy. Cottage cheese is best here.
Can I make it vegan?
Haven’t found a great egg substitute for this one yet. The eggs are key to the structure.
Is oat flour gluten-free?
Yes, as long as it’s certified gluten-free (some oats are processed with wheat).
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just blend it all together and cook in batches.
