Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup garlic butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix almond flour, garlic powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Melt the cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until both cheeses are fully melted and combined.
- Mix the dough: Add the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Add the egg: Crack the egg into the dough mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Wet your hands or coat them with a little olive oil to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Shape the dough into small round or oval flatbreads, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake the flatbreads for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping
- While the flatbreads are baking, melt the garlic butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the Parmesan cheese if using for extra flavor.
Step 6: Serve
- Once the flatbreads are done, remove them from the oven and brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Let the flatbreads cool slightly, then cut them into wedges and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions:
- Wraps: Use them as wraps for grilled chicken, vegetables, or your favorite keto-friendly fillings.

Tips & Variations:
- Make them spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes to the dough or sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top for a spicy kick.
- Herbs: Fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano can be added to the dough for extra flavor.
- Store them: These flatbreads store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet for the best texture.
