Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Enjoy these cauliflower flatbreads warm from the skillet and piled with your favorite toppings.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

A stack of thin, fluffy, golden-brown-to-perfection flatbreads. Can you believe they’re made without a trace of flour? The secret ingredient: versatile, delicious, healthy cauliflower.

One fun thing about the gluten-free diet is how it forces us to be just a little bit more creative with our food. Last week, we chopped up cauliflower to make a very tasty rice dish. This week, we discovered that cauliflower can be used as a flour substitute, and we got to work at once making these lovely little gluten-free, vegetarian, paleo flatbreads. 

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

These flatbreads are quick and easy to whip up: just fifteen minutes to prepare and twenty minutes to cook. And, then, feel free to eat as many as you please. Cauliflower is an excellent source of potassium. It’s rich in dietary fiber, folate, manganese, and vitamins C, K, and B6. In other words, this is the perfect way to add more vegetables into your diet.

Ingredients 

And the ingredients are wonderfully simple. All you need is ¾ of a head of cauliflower, half a cup of water, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step by step instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

To make the flatbreads, we needed to first turn the cauliflower into a flour-like consistency.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

We pulsed a few cauliflower florets at a time in our Cuisinart food processor until they were the size of couscous.

2 cups packed

Next, we brought half a cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. After stirring in the cauliflower, we turned off the heat and covered the pan. The pan sat covered for 10 minutes before we removed the lid, drained the cauliflower, and transferred it to a cheesecloth which we used to gently squeeze out most of the moisture.

TortillaSqueeze

Finally, we placed the drained cauliflower in a mixing bowl and mixed the eggs, salt, pepper and garlic until well combined (the garlic gives these flatbreads a lovely flavor). The end result was a grainy, easy to manage batter that was ready to be made into the flatbreads.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

Our batter made six little flatbreads (about four to five inches in diameter) that we first baked in the oven, and then heated on a skillet over medium heat until they were browned on each side.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

They are best when eaten right away, warm from the skillet and piled with your favorite toppings. Absolutely incredible. No crumbling. No chalky back taste. Just soft and fresh and beautifully textured. We can still hardly believe that they are made with cauliflower batter.

Gluten Free Cauliflower Flatbreads

Our flatbreads were inspired by a great recipe for cauliflower tortillas over at Slim Palate. We found that our flatbreads were not pliable enough to roll up as tortillas, but you can make little pizzas out of them, covered in melted cheese and marinara sauce.

Ingredients

  • ¾ of a head of cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 2 eggs
  • garlic powder to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Prepare baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Pulse a few florets at a time in your food processor until the cauliflower pieces are the size of couscous, about 2 cups packed.
    Next bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the cauliflower to the pan. Stir. Turn the heat off and cover the pan. Let the pan sit covered for 10 minutes.
    Then remove the lid. Drain. Transfer to a cheesecloth and twist cheesecloth into a pouch. Squeeze out most of the moisture.
  • Place drained cauliflower in a mixing bowl and add eggs, sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic (I used about 1/4 teaspoon of each) and mix until well combined.
  • Spread mixture dividing into 6 flat circles onto parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes then flip over and bake for about 7 minutes more. Then cool on a wire rack.
  • Heat skillet over medium heat and brown the flatbreads about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Notes

You can serve your cauliflower flatbreads plain with a dipping sauce like this salsa, this Mediterranean salsa, or pesto. We even topped ours with a meaty Bolognese sauce or make little pizzas out of them, covered in melted cheese and marinara sauce.

    I do not need to eat gluten free, but I am on Weight Watchers – I can see some excellent uses for this recipe. Would experiment to see if it would work with an egg white and an egg, or even all egg whites. Pinned onto my gluten free board. Thanks for the idea!

    Hello! In regard to the Nutrition Facts at the bottom… does that reflect 1 flatbread (out of 6), or is that for the full recipe (6 flatbreads)? It only says “servings: 6” so I wanted to double check if those Nutrition Facts listed reflect 1 serving, or 6. Thank you!! 🙂

      Hi Penny,
      Great question. The nutrition facts are for 1 flatbread. This information is an estimate based on the ingredients recommended and using a free online nutrition calculator called Verywell.
      I hope this helps.
      Have a great week. 🙂

    Is it possible to take it through the baking step, freeze them, and then brown them in a pan when needed? Seems like a great recipe to have on hand for weeknights, and it would be wonderful to be able to prep a large amount and have them ready to go.

      Hi Kitlain,
      I do love using taco meat and cheese and chopped tomatoes as toppings, but the flatbreads aren’t pliable enough to roll up as tortillas.
