- 1 large sweet potato about 1 ½ cups mashed
- 1 cup oats old-fashioned or rolled oats, blended into oat flour
- 1 egg or use egg whites for an even lighter option
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder optional, for extra flavor
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano optional, for that classic pizza flavor
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the sweet potato: Cook the sweet potato by microwaving it or roasting it until it’s soft. Once cooked, scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.
Make the oat flour: Blend the oats in a food processor or blender until they form a fine flour.
Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, oat flour, egg, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well until a dough forms.
Shape the crust: Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming it into a round pizza crust. Make sure it’s about ¼ inch thick.
Bake the crust: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is firm and lightly golden.
Add toppings and bake again: Once the crust is baked, add your favorite Weight Watchers-friendly toppings (like veggies and low-fat cheese) and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the cheese is melted.
- For a crispier crust, bake it for an additional 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
- Use low-point toppings such as veggies, lean proteins like grilled chicken, and low-fat cheese to keep the pizza Weight Watchers-friendly.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough for an extra kick of heat.
