A Fun Breakfast Flatbread!

I’m one of those people who wakes up craving a sweet breakfast. Humbly speaking, I would consider myself the queen of turning anything into a healthy enough option for breakfast: flatbread pizza, breakfast cookies, cakes… you name it! A few of my favorite breakfast creations so far include my banana breakfast cake, the zucchini crumb cake, and my navy bean chocolate chip cookies.

Weekends are my favorite weekly excuse to be a little more extra than normal in the breakfast department. One of my favorite ways to spend a slow Saturday morning is getting creative in the kitchen, blasting music, & sipping multiple cups of coffee.

Motto for weekend breakfasts: fun, funky, fresh, foolproof.

This blueberry & asiago flatbread recipe checks every single box. After making it for the first time last week, I think this flatbread just might be a regular inclusion in my weekend breakfast rotation. To be completely honest, I had entirely way too much fun making this flatbread!

A Sweet Breakfast for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet

If you’re new to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), it can be a little confusing. My favorite way to explain it is that it’s similar to the Paleo Diet, but slightly more restrictive in limiting specific carbohydrates (as the name implies). With that said, the SCD allows fermented dairy products with very little lactose left (unsweetened yogurt and dry aged cheeses), which wouldn’t be considered “Paleo”. To sum it up, I often just say that it pretty much cuts out all of the highly processed foods found in the Standard American Diet.

I won’t sugar coat it though… eating meat and nuts and vegetables all the time just isn’t super fun. Recipes like this one are what keeps my inner foodie alive & thriving.

Which Cheeses Are “Allowed” on the SCD?

The world of cheese is large. Very large. I feel so overwhelmed by the cheese section of grocery stores more times than not. Hard, soft, aged, creamed, mold ripened, raw… like where do I start? For the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, the guidelines simply tell you not to eat processed cheese. Sounds simple enough, right? 

But after taking a dairy class in college, it became very obvious to me that all cheeses are processed- at least to some extend. It’s the nature of what must be done to turn a liquid product (milk) into a solid cheese. So how processed is too processed?!

Turns out, as long as the cheese is adequately aged (very little lactose or carbohydrates remaining) and doesn’t contain any added ingredients, binders, or thickeners you’re good to go!

How to Make a Breakfast Flatbread

Step 1: Start by making the almond flour crust. Stir the dry ingredients together first, then mix in the egg and coconut oil until a thick dough forms.

Step 2: Evenly roll out the dough on a piece of lightly greased parchment paper on a cookie sheet forming a small ridge around the edges to hold in the blueberry filling. Pre-bake the crust for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3: While the crust bakes, Prepare the blueberry filling by cooking the blueberries, honey, and lemon juice over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently!

Step 4: Evenly spread the blueberry filling over the baked crust. Top with shredded asiago cheese, slivered almonds, & raw pumpkin seeds. Bake for another 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm!
