Looking for a versatile low-carb flatbread that’s rich in nutrients and flavor? This Avocado Flatbread recipe is the perfect keto-friendly twist on traditional breads—ideal as a base for sandwiches, wraps, or even pizza. It’s ready in just 30 minutes and packed with fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein.
Unlike standard flour tortillas or naan, which often contain 20–30 grams of carbs per piece, this flatbread cuts that down to just 8g net carbs while offering the added benefits of heart-healthy avocado and high-protein chickpea flour.
Why Use Avocado and Chickpea Flour?
Avocados are nutrient powerhouses loaded with potassium, monounsaturated fats, and fiber. According to the National Institutes of Health, regular avocado consumption can improve lipid profiles and support cardiovascular health.
Chickpea flour is a gluten-free, low-glycemic alternative that delivers 3g of protein and 8g of carbs per serving. It provides a subtle nutty flavor and elasticity to the dough, making it ideal for flatbreads that hold together without crumbling.
