INGREDIENTS
Fruit Pizza Crust
- 1 cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) gluten-free quick oats
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp (100 g / 3.5 oz) applesauce
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
Dessert Pizza Topping
- 2–3 tbsp coconut yogurt
- 1 apricot
- 1/2 cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) blueberries
- 1/2 cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) raspberries
- 1/2 cup (50 g / 1.8 oz) grapes
- 1 tsp warmed almond butter
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F / 175°C / gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Tip: Trace a plate outline on the parchment to help shape your crust.
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the oats, melted coconut oil, and applesauce. Stir until well mixed.
- Shape and Bake: Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming a 9-inch (22 cm) circle. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Tip: Avoid baking longer than 12 minutes to keep the crust soft.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the crust bakes, rinse and pat dry all fruit. Slice larger fruits like apricots, and halve smaller ones like grapes.
- Tip: Pat fruits dry well to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spread 2-3 tablespoons of coconut yogurt over the crust. Arrange the fruits on top as desired.
- Add Almond Butter Drizzle: Microwave almond butter for 30 seconds, then drizzle over the fruit pizza.
NOTES
- Preventing Sogginess & Assembling Ahead: Make the crust ahead if you like, but it’s best to add the yogurt and fruit just before serving to keep the pizza fresh. If left assembled, the pizza may soften over time.
- Storage:
- The baked crust keeps in the fridge for up to a week.
- Once assembled, it’s best eaten within 2 days. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
- Freezing Option: The crust can be frozen for 1–2 months. Keep the toppings fresh by assembling just before serving. Since this fruit pizza comes together quickly, it’s convenient to prepare fresh, even when you’re pressed for time.
