Healthy American Flag Fruit Pizza

Healthy Fruit PizzaWho would not want to celebrate July 4th with a Healthy American Flag Fruit Pizza!!  My children will be consuming A LOT of sugary treats at the beach for the 4th of July celebration so we did not need any more around our house, but I wanted to make something festive and fun for us.  I adapted my favorite sugar cookie by using oat flour in place of the all-purpose flour to make it gluten free, cut the sugar and used avocado oil instead of butter for a healthy fat.  Instead of the traditional whip cream and powdered sugar, I lightly sweetened greek yogurt with honey.  My kiddos had lot of fun developing and eating this, I hope yours do as well and enjoy the 4th!

Healthy American Flag Fruit Pizza

Gluten Free Crust

  • 2/3 cup avocado oil
  • ½ cup raw sugar
  • 1 large eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups oat flour

Topping

  • 12-14 oz 2% Greek Yogurt
  • 2-3 tbs Maple Syrup or Honey (you can use more if you want it sweeter)
  • 1 pint raspberries cut in half
  • ½ pint of blueberries

To Make the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×13-inch baking pan (I used a quarter sheet pawith parchment paper and lightly grease
  2. In a large bowl or electric stand mixer blend together the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla
  3. Blend in the baking powder and salt
  4. Slowly add in the flour 1 cup at a time on a low speed or by hand
  5. Blend together until the dough begins to pull into a ball and is not too sticky (if it is too sticky add a little more flour 1 tbs at a time)
  6. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan
  7. Bake the crust for 10 -12 minutes until it is golden brown
  8. Let cool completely before putting on the topping

To Make the Filling

  1. Remove the crust from the pan and place on the platter you would like to serve it on

  2. Whisk together greek yogurt and honey and evenly spread the filling over the top of the crust

To Make Your Flag!

  1. Line the blueberries in the top left corner (I did 7 across and 5 blueberries down)

  2. Make your stripes – I did 6 rows of raspberries

  3. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving (or until you are ready to serve)
