Paleo Flatbread is fairly quick to make and so good!

The non-standard types of flour are what makes this flatbread recipe Paleo. It’s super easy to make and everyone loves it!

Delicious flat bread, easy to make
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Medium to large sized skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Organic coconut milk, unsweetened ~13ish ounces
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 1 cup Tapioca flour
  • Clarified butter, ghee, or olive oil for pan, if using non-stick

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all ingredients.
  • Heat a pan over medium-high heat. You may need to use a little clarified butter (or ghee or olive oil) here if you aren't using a non-stick pan.
  • Once the pan is heated, scoop batter into the center of the pan. You can make these thick, like pancakes, or thin, like crepes.
  • Cooking time will vary based upon thickness of the batter. Once the batter puffs up or the batter in the center is no longer mushy (like watching a pancake cook), flip and cook the other side.

Notes

When making flatbread, it is important to keep an eye on it in the pan, and remember that it does take time. This isn’t instant, and turning up the burner heat is not going to help move things along. Be patient, let it cook, and when it puffs up, flip it!

Ah! My flatbread never got puffy! Now what?

No worries!!! This happens all the time. In a perfect world, each piece of flatbread would puff up when it’s time to flip it over, and every piece would always be absolute perfection. However, cooking is rarely perfect. Simply wait until the flatbread looks like it’s cooked through the center (not mushy anymore), then flip. You can always flip back if you need to 🙂 I have also had flatbread not puff up until it’s almost done. Sometimes there are also tiny holes in the bread, maybe from the batter not quite filling up that part of the pan, or from the batter sticking and tearing somehow. But these small holes and tears will cause your flatbread to stay flat while cooking, never puffing up.

Paleo flatbread chicken sandwich

Absolutely! We had some fantastic shredded chicken and lettuce flatbread sandwiches with our batch today. It was absolutely delicious! I also plan to use my Foreman Grill to make paninis with the leftover flatbread tomorrow for lunch.

This flatbread is also great ripped into bite sized pieces and dipped in a variety of sauces. A good guacamole or cream sauce is awesome with this bread!
