Easy Low-Carb Flatbread (Keto, Gluten-Free)

This low-carb flatbread is both elevated and weeknight-easy! It starts with a wonderfully pliable dough made from a mix of almond flour, flax, lupin flour, and just enough arrowroot to give it structure without spiking the amount of carbs per serving.

Greek yogurt ties it all together, creating a soft, rollable dough that turns golden and crisp in the oven.

When it comes to flatbread toppings, this recipe is endlessly customizable. I'm sharing a delicious pairing that would be perfect for the holidays or any special occasion.

Melt-y brie, thin slices of sweet apple, and fresh thyme delivers a balance of sweet, salty and creamy - all arranged on a low-carb and grain-free crust. 

It's wonderful for the holidays but simple enough to make on any random Tuesday when you're craving something cozy and just a little fancy. 

the low-carb flatbread base

This dough is incredibly forgiving and comes together in minutes.

Almond flour provides richness, lupin flour is high protein and fiber and will also add structure.

Flaxseed meal and Greek yogurt both add a little bit of tenderness to the dough, while arrowroot will give it that slight chew you'd expect from classic flatbread. 

Enjoy this as a base for any of your favorite toppings, or use it as a low-carb pizza crust!

It doesn't have quite the same texture as my grain-free pizza crust recipe (which relies on yeast and psyllium husk powder for a doughier, more flavorful crust) but it's much simpler and comes together quickly.

the ingredients

Here's a look at the simple ingredients you'll need for this low carb flatbread. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to view the printable recipe card with all of the details.

• Almond flour: Gives the flatbread a tender, rich crumb. Make sure to use finely-ground, blanched almond flour (skins are removed). 

• Flaxseed meal: This acts a little like a binder and adds flexibility and structure to the dough. Because flaxseed meal absorbs moisture, it also creates a softer, more pliable texture. 

• Lupin flour: Lupin flour, which is made from high-protein, high-fiber lupini beans, has a texture similar to regular wheat flour. This adds structure to the flatbread and makes it less prone to crumbling. 

• Arrowroot powder: Arrowroot can be used in moderation in low-carb baking, and since we have more fiber in the mix from the lupin flour, a small amount of arrowroot is okay. Arrowroot lightens up the texture and will add a tiny bit of elasticity to the flatbread dough. 

• Baking powder: For a little lift as the dough bakes! If you need this to be grain free, use a paleo or grain-free baking powder. 

• Greek yogurt: The main binder in this recipe, Greek yogurt moistens the dough just enough to make it rollable, and also adds a chewy texture and delicious flavor. 

flavorful, elevated toppings

Now the fun part. This flatbread layers creamy brie, crisp apple, and fresh thyme-a combination that always works during the fall or holiday season. 

The mayo sounds unexpected, but trust me: a thin swipe helps the toppings melt together into a silky, cohesive layer. A sprinkle of golden monkfruit sweetener gives you that classic apple-and-brie sweetness without the blood sugar spike.

Here's what you'll add after the initial bake: avocado oil mayonnaise, prosciutto (optional), brie, thin slices of apple, fresh thyme, and golden granulated monkfruit sweetener.

tips for the best results

• If your dough appears too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of arrowroot powder. The consistency after freezing should be soft and pliable but not too sticky to roll out. 
• Freezing helps all of the ingredients meld, gives the dry ingredients more time to soak in the moisture from the yogurt, and also makes it easier to roll. A room temperature dough will be harder for you to roll out so make sure you don't skip the freeze time! If you don't plan on making the flatbread right away, you can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour instead of using the freezer. 
• The combination of dry ingredients creates the best texture, in my opinion. However, you can swap if needed. For instance, 2 tablespoons of coconut flour would be my recommended replacement for lupin flour. 

variations

The wonderful thing about this recipe is that the flatbread base goes with nearly any topping! Here are a few variations and different ways you can make the flatbread:

• Make a flatbread version of garlic breadsticks by sprinkling a little garlic powder and spreading fresh garlic butter onto the flatbread base. 
• Use it as keto bread for a sandwich or wrap, topped with your favorite sandwich fillings or keto egg salad, chicken salad, etc. 
• Make a quick pizza and use your own favorite pizza toppings. 
• Instead of apple with brie,use a different cheese and fruit combo! Sweet pear slices with gorgonzola, goat cheese with persimmon slices, etc. You can also remove the fruit if you need this to be more keto friendly. 

serving ideas

Serve this as a starter for a dinner party, slice it into thin strips for a holiday grazing board, or enjoy it on its own with a simple side salad.
