Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and baking powder.
Add applesauce and honey (or maple syrup). Mix until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough into a round pizza shape, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Protein Icing
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
Add almond milk a little at a time until the icing is smooth and spreadable.
Step 3: Assemble the Fruit Pizza
Once the crust is completely cool, spread the protein icing evenly over the top.
Arrange fruit on top and finish with sprinkles if desired.
Step 4: Slice and Serve
Slice into 8–10 pieces and serve immediately, or chill briefly before serving.
Additional Notes
- Always let the crust cool fully before icing.
- Use thick Greek yogurt for best icing texture.
- Adjust sweetness depending on protein powder used.
