cottage cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: tofu

Ricotta provides similar creaminess, while tofu is a budget-friendly protein alternative.

whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Oat flour is gluten-free and nutritious, while all-purpose is more affordable.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier, while canola oil is less expensive.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is thicker and higher in protein, while sour cream is a cost-effective substitute.

1

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and the egg. Use an immersion blender to process until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and no curds remain.

2

Add the chickpea flour, grated Parmigiano, baking powder, and cornstarch to the creamy base. Mix well until a solid dough forms, being careful not to knead too much to avoid stickiness.

3

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature to hydrate the chickpea flour.

4

Meanwhile, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

5

Split the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each piece into a smooth ball, keeping them covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

6

Place a dough ball on a lightly greased sheet of parchment paper and roll it out into a disc about 12 cm (approx. 5 inches) in diameter.

7

Transfer the flatbread to the hot skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and slightly puffy.

8

Repeat with the remaining dough balls and enjoy warm.
