It’s Friday! And you know what that means, don’t you? That’s right, it’s p-a-r-t-y time! Here’s a recipe for a simple oat-based dessert or breakfast pizza. Great for any age because you can add any toppings you like!

Admittedly, I feel like no party is ever complete without pizza so it’s pretty easy for me to think of this dessert or breakfast pizza as perfect party food.

This Party Time Dessert or Breakfast Pizza recipe is a totally fun, colourful and easy way to get your kids cooking in the kitchen as well as give your kids’ meals an added nutritional boost.

It’s a meal that looks indulgent. But don’t tell your kids this: it really isn’t. Here’s a healthy oat “pizza” crust, sweetened only with ripe banana. I topped mine with coconut whipped cream, fruit and a super easy but optional homemade chocolate sauce.

A few other combos I love:

  • Almond butter with fresh fruit and nuts and seeds.
  • Homemade chia jam with almond butter and extra hemp seeds.

Why should you make this dessert or breakfast pizza recipe?

Fun and nutritious for kids of all ages, the crust can be made in advance for kids’ or (adults’ only… ahem) party because it freezes beautifully. Double, triple or quadruple the batch and then let your guests choose their own adventure. They can decorate their dessert or breakfast pizza crusts with toasted or raw nuts, seeds, any type of fruit or another favourite topping.

This dessert or breakfast pizza also accommodates a wide range of food allergies and/or intolerances since it’s dairy-free, gluten-free (use certified gluten-free oats), soy-free and nut-free (leave off nuts).

Can I make this into a vegan pizza recipe?

This dessert or breakfast pizza crust can easily be made egg-free or vegan by replacing the egg with a chia or flax egg substitute.

To make this a vegan breakfast pizza crust, mix 1 Tbsp ground chia or flax seeds with 3 Tbsp water. Stir and let this sit for at least 5-10 minutes or until thick. This will replace the egg in the original recipe.

Did I mention this healthy dessert is fast to put together? The crust takes 10-12 minutes to cook in the oven and you can assemble your toppings during that time.

Perfect for busy nights or weekends when you don’t have hours to bake but you’re still eager to put a healthy treat on the table for your family (and of course, yourself!).

** Extra tip alert! **

I can’t stress this enough. If you make this with the coconut cream topping, you must (must!) let the crust cool completely before you do so.

If you don’t, the coconut cream will turn this healthy treat into the ultimate wet soggy mess. It won’t be pretty.

So… let the crust cool completely before dressing it up.

I hope you enjoy this quick, easy and endlessly customizable recipe for dessert or breakfast pizza!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 12 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

For the Pizza Crust:

  • 1/2 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup ripe and very well-mashed banana
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg or substitute a chia or flax “egg”, beaten
  • 1 cup rolled oats

For the Toppings:

  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk refrigerated overnight
  • 2/3 cup fresh fruit of choice
  • Optional: Organic raw or toasted nuts or seeds

For the Homemade Chocolate Sauce:

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp real vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350° F.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the vanilla, banana, cinnamon and egg (or chia or flax “egg”) together. Add the rolled oats and mix until the oats are fully covered.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mound the pizza “dough” in the centre and shape it into a circle. I like 1/2” thick by about 6 1/2” in diametre. Too thin and it can burn; too thick and it may not cook through. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Let cool completely before assembling.
  4. While the pizza crust cooks, prepare the toppings. Scoop the coconut cream from the top of a refrigerated can (only the thick cream, not the water below) and spoon it into a bowl. Whip with a hand blender until fluffy. Cut up or mash fruit.
  5. In a small pot, make the homemade chocolate sauce. Add the coconut oil, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup and gently heat over low until the coconut oil is melted. Whisk to combine.
  6. To assemble the pizzas, spread ½ coconut cream over the cooled pizza crust. Top with fruit and/or nuts or seeds of choice. Drizzle chocolate over the top. Cut into four pieces and decide whether to share with friends (or not). Use the extra coconut cream for more pizzas, dipping fruit or add it to your favourite smoothie.
