Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 6 large egg whites (198g)
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (7.5ml)
  • 1/2 cup gluten free oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons whole husk psyllium
  • 1 scoop unflavored whey protein concentrate (30g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (1.5g)

Topping

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese (84g)
  • 1 oz (about 1/2 cup) chopped kale leaves (28g)
  • 1/2 tablespoon pignioli (pine nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the 6 large egg whites and 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil until well blended.
  3. Add Crust Dry Ingredients: Add the gluten free oat flour, whole husk psyllium, unflavored whey protein concentrate, baking powder, and sea salt to the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a consistent batter for the crust.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly into a 9-inch round silicone baking pan ensuring a smooth surface.
  5. Bake Crust: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or just until the crust is firm and set.
  6. Cool Crust: Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan to set further.
  7. Remove from Pan: Carefully take the crust out of the silicone pan and place it onto a sheet of aluminum foil for easy handling.
  8. Add Toppings: Spread the 3/4 cup of pumpkin puree evenly over the crust, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped kale leaves, and pine nuts for texture and flavor.
  9. Broil: Place the topped pizza under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted and begun to lightly brown.
  10. Serve & Enjoy: Remove from oven, slice as desired, and enjoy your healthy pumpkin kale pizza!

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour if preferred, but this will alter texture slightly.
  • For a vegan version, replace egg whites with flax egg and use vegan cheese.
  • Be careful not to over-bake the crust as it can become too dry.
  • Chop kale finely to ensure even cooking and pleasant texture.
  • Pine nuts add a nice crunch; you can toast them lightly for extra flavor.
