Homemade Oat Flour Pizza Crust
Friends. Let me introduce you to my new favorite thing: clean eating Homemade Oat Flour Pizza Crust.
This lightened up, easy, hand-held oat flour pizza crust is made with just two main ingredients and is versatile enough to go with both traditional tomato-mozzarella toppings and less-traditional pizza situations such as a bbq chicken pizza or Greek pizza.
Pizza is one of those foods where even if you go astray and use some non-traditional ingredients and get a little funky with it, you should, at the very least, always, always, always be able to pick it up with your hands. It’s just a personal food conviction, okay? Well, this pizza totally hits the mark!
HOW TO MAKE THIS HOMEMADE OAT FLOUR PIZZA CRUST:
Let’s take it from the beginning. You mostly need TWO THINGS:
- some rolled oats
- egg whites
Yep, that’s it! Oh my!
If you don’t feel too strongly about breaking the two ingredient rule, add a few other things for extra flavor. I added salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. I also added baking powder to give the crust a bit of a rise. Pulse those all together in a food processor or blender.
You literally take that mixture, pour it onto a heated skillet and let it do its thang.
The end. This is your crust. You just worked a miracle. Haha… transfer it to a baking sheet and top it with all of your favorites.
HOMEMADE OAT FLOUR PIZZA CRUST IS A NEW FAVORITE!
I made my pizza really simple. I added crushed tomatoes and cheese. My cheese looks a little funny because I kept this pizza dairy free with daiya mozzarella style cheese. I’m sure you can make your pizza look way prettier with tons of melty cheese. 😊
The pizza cuts into slices nicely, it can be picked up wth your hands assuming you don’t overload it with every topping known to humanity (not that I’ve ever done that ever in my life ever), and it is the definition of REAL FOOD meets CONVENIENCE meets DELICIOUS.
Guys! This is a weeknight pizza game-changer.
For the record, I still love a regular pizza crust above all else. Who doesn’t, right?!
But this easy any-night-of-the-week beauty is pretty great. It’s low maintenance, versatile, hand-hold-able, healthy, simple, real food made easy… gah it all just makes me happy beyond happy.
I can promise you, this whole grain, gluten free, dairy free pizza crust will be one of your new favorite ways to enjoy pizza in a much healthier way!
I hope you LOVE this pizza as much as I did! It’s:
Flavorful
Easy to make
Versatile
Wholesome
& Uber satisfying
I love making this pizza for my lunch. I usually half the recipe and eat it with a salad. It would make the perfect appetizer on Italian night or even the main event when paired with a green salad.

- 1 cup old fashioned oats gluten free as needed
- 1/2 cup egg whites from a carton
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat oven to 400ºF and heat a large skillet (on the stove) over medium heat that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add all crust ingredients to the bowl of a food processor or the pitcher of a blender. Blend until smooth.
Pour mixture onto heated skillet; shape with the back of a spoon into a circle and spread for desired thickness. Cook for about 5 minutes and until edges start to brown and mixture is pretty set.
Crust should be lifting some when it is ready to flip. Use a spatula to flip crust over in the pan and cook the other side for about 2-3 minutes.
Spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and transfer crust from skillet onto the pan.
Add sauce and all desired toppings. Bake 10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges of the crust are slightly browned.
- Serve up and enjoy!

Do you have to use whole oats for crust or can you oat flour? I have a bag to use up. Thanks, Linda.
Yes, that should work just fine. Use just a little less oat flour, so a little less than 1 cup for this recipe. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!
This is such a great way to lighten up pizza night! Yum!
What an interesting way to make a gluten free crust. I recently found one that I love, but I think I’d love to try this one too!
this looks awesome!!! I didn’t even know you could make pizza crust out of oat flour!!! I love looking for healthy alternatives!
This looks so easy and I bet it is super delicious! I’m trying to cut sown on wheat flour, so I am totally going to give this a try!
Interesting idea for a pizza crust! A simple recipe that looks so yummy!
The crust is brilliant! And so easy to make!
Consider my mind blown. I have never seen a pizza crust made out of oats. Looks great!
I bet my fiance would love this! He’s gluten free and while I do love cauliflower crust, I need a quicker alternative and this looks like perfect!
Loving the texture on this and since we do eat quite a bit of pizza, I will definitely give this a try. Such a great gluten-free alternative too. Thanks for sharing.
I will be trying this soon. Wonder if it would be okay on the grill if we watch it? We like to grill our pizza.
I love making my own pizza crusts and oatmeal is such a great wholesome base to use! One of my favorites that I make is with that. I really like how you did it stove top though! I’ll have to give that version a try!
I tried this pizza recipe
was delicious.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed!
This crust tastes great and is so easy! I doubled the recipe and made it in a cheesecake-size spring-form pan. It turned out thick which was a surprise since I thought I spread it pretty thin. Next time I’ll spread it even thinner! I love thin crust. My fiancé prefers thicker so he really enjoyed this crust. I’m definitely saving to use again and again and again!
Thanks so much for taking time to comment! I LOVE that you had great results!
Can you bake this in the oven?
I’ve never tried baking it, but I really think it would work. I would try 375ºF. Let us know how it goes!
Hi can I use whole egg whites instead of carton and I have oat flour how much should I use of that
Whole egg whites should work just fine. I’m not quite sure about the oat flour, but it’s close to a 1:1 ratio.
Hi there! This recipe looks wonderful! I wondered if you think it would work to substitute the egg whites with flax egg to veganize the dish? Thank you!!
I’m not quite sure if that would work because I’ve never actually tried it. I would love to hear if it does work, though. Please let me know if you give it a try.
