This flavorful Mousetta with Keto Flatbread combines the smoky richness of grilled eggplants with a soft, low-carb flatbread perfect for dipping or wrapping. This recipe is ideal for keto and low-carb diets, offering healthy fats, fiber, and satisfying flavors inspired by Middle Eastern cuisine.
Why This Recipe Fits a Keto Lifestyle
Moutabelle is rich in healthy fats from olive oil and tahini, while the keto flatbread uses almond flour and psyllium husk to keep carbs low and add fiber. Almond flour contains about 2-3g net carbs per 1/4 cup, making it a great keto baking staple. Psyllium husk improves texture and digestive health, making this flatbread both tasty and nutritious.

Directions
