This oat flatbread makes a delicious snack or breakfast, as it made from oatmeal and has no added sugar! Top it with your favorite berries for more nutrition.
I created this recipe simply to satisfy a lazy afternoon snack craving.
You know the kind. You don't want to ruin your dinner, but you need something, and you need it now!
Wanting something relatively light and without sugar, this oat and berry bread is what I came up with!
Why I love this recipe
Not only is this flatbread quick and easy, it's also delicious.
The added applesauce gives it a modest sweetness, and when paired with the berries, cinnamon, and vanilla, it becomes surprisingly flavorful!
I considered making this into muffins or pouring it into a loaf pan, but, in light of having to clean those vessels, I decided to just slather it onto a baking sheet.
Lazy Lauren at her finest.

Tips and tricks
This 'bread' could be dressed up any number of ways, using various spices or add-ins, but how I have posted here is my fave.
For a sweeter variety flatbread, top with a few chocolate chips.
We like to drizzle on some yogurt and/or honey too!
If you're out of oat flour, this post explains how to make oat flour and is a great resource.

I can't say I picture you and lazy going together, but I do like the idea of simple baking/cooking. I'm like you, I get in these mindsets where I feel like I have too much stuff. I do a clean sweet of our apartment twice a year. If we haven't used something in 6 months, it goes to good will.
And although I enjoy making a nice, labour intensive meal once or twice a week, I really prefer throwing things together quickly. This sounds perfect! Especially for breakfast =)
Patti
Thanks again for another great day recipe. I've heard that Quinoa flakes sub well for oats - worth a try?
Lauren
Hi Patti, I'm not sure, as I've never worked with them. Let me know if you try and it works!

vanessa
hello,could I omit the arrowroot?
Lauren
Hi Vanessa,
That should be fine, but the bread may lose a little 'chew'. 🙂
Elyssa (:
What a lovely recipe!!!! Thanks so much; it was sooo delicious 😀 I have to admit though, I definitely cut my pieces a lot larger than Lauren did(; I replaced the arrowroot with an equal amount of coconut flour and it worked perfectly, if you're looking for a good substitute ((:
Thanks again Lauren!!!
Lauren
Thanks for the feedback Elyssa!! 🙂
