Fresh Heather : Healthy Vegan Coconut-Flour Crust Pizza (Gluten-free and Cauliflower-free)!

Hi Everyone! I've just posted this recipe on my instagram but it is rather long so I'll write it up on here too for you all!

Who doesn't love Pizza?! Especially of the of the healthy guilt-free, gluten-free vegan variety (without cauliflower)! Okay, so the base isn't the perfect round shape but the taste was amazing and you can't grumble about healthy pizza! The base is made using coconut flour (i always use Coconut Merchant) and the 'cheese' sauce is made from coconut milk (I again use Coconut Merchant) + sweet potato along with a few other things ...it was good!! I made this a few months ago but forgot to post it and due to that fact the recipe isn't exactly clear in my mind but I'll post the recipe I wrote down when I made it!

RECIPE

Crust
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 3tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1tbsp coconut milk
- 3 eggs/ flax eggs
- 1tsp dried basil
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- seasoning

Combine all ingredients. Spread into a circular shape on greaseproof paper, ensuring the base is around 1cm thick. Bake in a preheated oven at around 200C // 400F for 10 mins (this is the main part i am unsure about! So keep an eye on it)!!

Cheese
- 1 m sweet potato cooked
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2tsp sea salt
- cooked onion + garlic
- 1tbsp tomato purée

Combine ingredients in a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.

Putting it all Together

Spread a tomato puree mixture on top (I usually add some garlic, dried basil, oregano, seasoning, tabasco etc) and top with your preferred stir-fried veg (I usually add half of the veg, then the ‘cheese’ (recipe in comment below) then the remaining veg on top). Place under a medium grill for around 5-10 mins until ready! Sprinkle with friend oregano and basil.
