This Oats & Spinach Flatbread is a gluten-free alternative to traditional flatbreads. These are made with homemade oat flour and blended fresh greens. This recipe is nutritious, flavorful bread that pairs with dips and curries!
Blend rolled oats in a high-speed blender or food processor until finely ground.
Pass the ground oats through a fine sieve (sifter) to remove any coarse bits. Re-blend the larger pieces if needed, then sift again. Set aside the fine oat flour.
In a blender, combine spinach, cilantro, ginger, garlic, water, and salt. Blend until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, add the oat flour. Pour in the blended green mixture and mix until a dough begins to form. Knead gently until the dough is about 90% combined and smooth.
At this stage, drizzle in the olive and continue kneading until fully incorporated and the dough becomes soft and pliable.
If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more oat flour. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes. This helps the oat flour hydrate and makes rolling easier.
Divide the dough into equal portions (about 5–8 pieces).
Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, crack-free balls. 
Lightly dust your work surface with oat flour.
Gently flatten one dough ball and roll it into a thin flatbread, about 6–7 inches in diameter. Repeat with remaining portions.
Cook each flatbread for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden with brown spots.
While the flatbreads are still warm, lightly brush both sides with softened butter. This keeps them soft and enhances the flavor.
