Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
  • 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and psyllium husk powder. Mix together until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well to form a dough. Add the water gradually if the dough seems too thick.

Step 5

Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium husk powder to absorb some moisture, thickening the dough.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat, round pita about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

Place the pitas on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein, low carb pita bread fresh or store in an airtight container for later use.
