Ingredients List
For the Crust
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Protein Icing
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon almond milk (or milk of choice)
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit (berries, kiwi, banana slices, peaches)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until a coarse flour forms. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: Mix the Dough
Add applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of almond milk. If too wet, sprinkle in a little almond flour.
Step 3: Shape and Bake
Place dough onto the lined baking sheet. Press into a round pizza shape about ¼ inch thick.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and center is set.
Remove from oven and allow crust to cool completely before icing.
Step 4: Make the Protein Icing
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and spreadable.
Adjust consistency by adding a teaspoon of milk if needed.
Step 5: Assemble the Fruit Pizza
Spread the protein icing evenly over the cooled crust.
Top with fresh fruit and optional sprinkles. Slice and serve immediately or chill briefly for a firmer texture.
Additional Notes
- Cooling the crust fully prevents icing from melting.
- Use thick Greek yogurt for best icing texture.
- Protein powder sweetness varies—taste icing before spreading.
