Fitness pizza with oat crust – crispy base, high in protein

Fitness pizza made from oat dough is perfect for moments when you crave pizza but don’t want to throw away your healthy-eating efforts for the day. The crust is made from finely ground oat flakes, Greek yogurt and an egg – so instead of an empty “white” crust you get a base rich in fiber and protein. Top with tomato passata, light cheese, a bit of ham and lots of vegetables. No fuss: one bowl for the dough, a baking tray, 15 minutes in the oven and you have a dinner that tastes like a cheat meal but looks great nutritionally.

1Step 1First preheat your oven to 200 °C (top/bottom heat) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. For a fitness pizza it’s important to put it on a hot sheet – the base will set quickly and won’t tear.
2Step 2Put the rolled oats into a blender and blend into a finer “flour.” If you don’t want to dirty the blender, you can use whole oats, but the dough won’t be as smooth – more rustic, but still workable.
3Step 3Put the oat “flour,” baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Mix, add Greek yogurt and the egg. Combine everything into a thicker dough. Add a little water or milk if needed – you want a consistency between thick pancake batter and brownie batter so it can be spread but won’t run.
4Step 4Move the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it into a pizza shape with a spoon or spatula — a rather thin round, about 0.5–1 cm high. You can make a small “rim” around the edges so the sauce doesn't run off. Bake in the oven for about 8–10 minutes so the base pre-bakes and firms up.
5Step 5Meanwhile, prepare the tomato base: put tomato passata, olive oil, crushed garlic, oregano, basil and a pinch of salt into a small bowl. Stir, taste and adjust if needed — if you prefer a stronger flavor, add a bit more garlic or herbs.
6Step 6Take the pre-baked crust out of the oven. It should be firm on the surface but still soft inside. Spread a thin, even layer of tomato sauce over it — don’t overdo it so the pizza doesn’t get soggy.
7Step 7Sprinkle with some of the cheese, arrange pieces of chicken/turkey ham, sliced cherry tomatoes and strips of bell pepper. Add the remaining cheese on top — it will nicely bind the ingredients. If you want a more vegetable-forward pizza, feel free to add mushrooms or corn.
8Step 8Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the cheese starts to brown and the crust edges are lightly crispy. If you like a more well-done pizza, leave it a few minutes longer, but watch it so the oat base doesn't dry out.
9Step 9Remove the baked pizza from the oven, let it rest for 2–3 minutes, then sprinkle with arugula or baby spinach. Cut into triangles or squares and serve — plain or with a simple green salad on the side.

Kitchen tip

If you want dinner sorted with no thinking, bake two smaller pizzas at once. Let the second cool, slice it, put it in a container and you’ve got a great lunch for work. The oat base keeps its shape the next day and after a short reheat in the oven or on a pan it tastes almost fresh.
