This super simple oat lepinja (flatbread) is taking over social media for a reason — it’s made with just oats and water! No flour, no yeast, no oil, and no complicated steps. The result is a soft, flexible, and delicious flatbread that you can enjoy sweet or savory.
Perfect for healthy breakfasts, quick lunches, or as a wrap for your favorite fillings. It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free (if using certified gluten-free oats), high in fiber, and budget-friendly. Once you try it, you’ll make it on repeat!
The secret is in the technique: blend until smooth, cook on a dry non-stick pan, flip often, VERY OFTEN, and create that perfect pocket for fillings.
Oat Flatbread – 1 Ingredient
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Add the oats and water to a blender. Blend until you get a completely smooth batter with no lumps.
-
Let the batter rest for a few minutes. The oats will absorb excess water and thicken. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir.
-
Heat a good non-stick (teflon) pan well over medium heat — do not add any oil.
-
Pour the batter with a ladle onto the hot pan in your desired size. Keep the flatbreads relatively thin so the center cooks properly.
-
Reduce heat slightly. Flip the lepinja every 10 seconds for even cooking.
-
Cook for 5–10 minutes total (depending on thickness), flipping often, until the surface looks dry and the center is fully cooked.
-
Remove from the pan. While still warm, cut the flatbread with scissors. If the inside is not dry enough, cut it open to create a pocket, then return briefly to the pan to dry it out a bit more.
-
Fill with sweet or savory fillings of your choice and enjoy!
