3 Ingredient Paleo Pizza Bases
Just three ingredients are needed for these Paleo pizza bases which require NO cauliflower! Just 5 minutes and a stovetop are needed to whip these up and are the perfect low carb, high protein alternative to traditional pizza bases-Gluten free and Whole30 friendly!
Cauliflower.
When it comes to vegetables, cauliflower is king.
One thing which I refuse to do with cauliflower is make a cauliflower crust pizza with it on a consistent basis. I’ve made it in the past before, and while delicious, it most definitely is NOT pizza. It’s more like a great way to pack in vegetables and…pack more vegetables, cheese and meats on top.
Then have a fiber baby for the rest of the night.
Another thing with the ‘cauliflower’ pizza bases is ricing the darn vegetable. I swear the several times I’d done it, it was like a minor snow storm had hit my kitchen, minus the cold air and paired with a less then stellar scent. In fact, one time some of the cauliflower rice made it into my hair and my sister thought it was dandruff and wanted to get the mosquito repellant.
….She wanted to get the MOSQUITO REPELLANT.
Safe to say, when it comes to paleo pizza bases, I would not look at the white cruciferous vegetable as my first choice. That, my friends, is to be roasted Whole Foods style.
One of my most popular recipes is also the most simple- My 3 ingredient Paleo flatbread. This recipe today is pretty much the exact same recipe but with different proportions. Several had asked if the original 3 Ingredient Paleo flatbread could be used as a pizza base and I’d often advised that it’s best not to, due to it’s fragility.
As a wrap which you can stuff with whatever your heart desires? You bet.
As an open faced sandwich? Yes ma’am.
As a Versace ball gown? Ask Alexis.
As a pizza base? Well, unless you plan on topping it with pretend cheese then go for it.
Lucky, I have a solution and if your a fan of the 3 Ingredient paleo wrap, you’ll be all set. 
These 3 Ingredient Paleo pizza bases are the perfect Paleo alternative to cauliflower crust pizza bases. They are firm, sturdy and can be comfortably topped with whatever toppings you desire without the fear of it collapsing. Although not like a classic pizza base, they are thin, crispy and delicious enough to eat on it’s own. They are perfect for those following a low carb or paleo lifestyle and take less than 5 minutes to whip up over the stove.
For those who don’t want to turn on an oven, you don’t even need to! Once made stovetop, they maintain crispiness. However, for the ultimate ‘pizza’ experience, crisp it for several minutes after or with the toppings over it.
Bonus- These are optimum to make in batches and freeze. All you need to do is thaw, reheat (either stovetop or oven!) and voila- Instant personal pizza ready to top to your hearts desire or eat as it is!
Make these 3 ingredient Paleo pizza bases and keep cauliflower as your side dish.
Mosquito repellant NOT necessary.
Three Ingredient Paleo Pizza Bases
Ingredients
- For the whole egg version-
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour sifted
- Optional spices- I used mixed herbs red pepper flakes and sea salt
For the egg white version
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour sifted
- Optional spices- I used mixed herbs red pepper flakes and sea salt
Instructions
- Cover a frying pan with oil/butter and allow to heat up on low.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs/egg whites and whisk until opaque. Sift in the coconut flour and whisk very well until clumps are removed. Add in the spices of choice and sea salt and whisk once more.
- Once frying pan is hot, pour the "pizza" mixture in the pan and ensure it is fully coated. Cover the pan with a lid/tray for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on top. Flip, cook for an extra 2 minutes and remove from pan.
- Allow to cool slightly before topping and using as a pizza base or even eating on it's own.
Notes
These work well in batch cooking- It's best made in groupings of 4 and using 1/2 cup of coconut flour sifted.
For a thin and crispier base, go the full egg whites.
For a firmer, thicker base, go for the first version. Adapted from 3 Ingredient Paleo Flatbread

Are you a fan of cauliflower?
Have you ever made cauliflower rice and caused a snow storm?
Just yesterday I started a Pinterest board just for paleo pizza, so, yay!
YAY! Expect a twist on this tomorrow!
Please, when he says “2T coconut ploor”, what does the “t” stands for? “Tablespoon”?
Hi there, it does- So 15 mls 🙂
Thanks!
So your Tablespoon is only 15 mL?
Mine is always 20mL
It sounds like you are using Australian measurements 🙂 This uses American ones which is 15 mls 🙂 hope that helps!
So excited to make this since I finally have coconut flour in my house!
YES! The king of coconut flour approves! 😉
AHHH Yes! I can’t wait to make this for my family when I get home! I love coconut flour!
Please do, I am obsessed with coconut flour.
I’m sorry but when a recipe states 2 T of something I don’t understand what T stands for, please help, thanks
Angie
Hi Angie! Apologies for that- The ‘T’ stands for tablespoon 🙂
This sounds great! I’ve made the flat bread once ages ago and I liked it. Don’t know why I didn’t make it again!?! I’m making this next week, promise!
That makes me so happy- Hope you do try this out, I have a delicious twist on this tomorrow!
This pizza totally flopped when I made it 🙁 I made the 4 egg whites version. It didn’t came out either crispy nor doughy and was way too soft. Not sure what I may have done wrong. 🙁
That’s disappointing to hear as I’ve had over 50 people email/tweet/message and tell me they had success with it. You probably didn’t cook it long enough on low heat and toast it afterwards. That, or the brand of coconut flour. Or even maybe egg whites. There are many factors.
I always have drama with coconut flour. I’m probably doing something wrong? Do you think it would work to substitute garbanzo flour? I’m totally with you on the cauliflower snow. I made a cauliflower faux-caccia and it was good, but it was super involved! I may give the coconut flour version a go and see if I can actually get it work. I love the idea of a paleo crust that doesn’t involve cauliflower (even though I love it)!
It definitely would work, I have a non paleo version to share soon! I have a twist on this tomorrow!
What about almond flour?
Hi Sharon, that should work, but it will be a little less sturdy 🙂
I love cauliflower pizza, but like you say – it’s not pizza. I haven’t had any luck with coconut flour though, it’s so tricky to get right.
Right? It took me forever through the years and now it’s my ‘go to!’
Awesome paleo alternative. Making this really soon. I go to a place in Westchester that makes this with veggies. My daughter and I love it for lunch. How’s the city treating you? Are you enjoying being here?
Please do! Oh wow, you need to let me know the name, I’m hopefully going to visit a friend there next weekend!
I’m loving it (I’m in Astoria) but moreso for having opportunities- In Australia, it would be impossible to blog full time but here it’s been a different story 🙂 How are you going? Thanks so much for asking! 🙂
I love making alternative pizza crusts! Coconut flour is delish and it’s so versatile. I do like to make cauli-crusts too though! LOL
As long as you enjoy it, there’s nothing wrong with it- I just don’t have time to do it and would rather eat a real crust haha! Speaking of which, I am dying for a Chicago deep dish pizza.
So – let me get this straight – mosquito repellent helps fight dandruff? Did you ever watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding? The dad in that sprayed Windex on just about every physical AND mental ailment! You know…your sis might be onto something after all…
Yes, I love cauliflower – but I’ve never riced it – I just boil it and then mash it or blend it and I have managed to escape the whole rice/dandruff in the hair dealio!
But – I love the sound of your protein coconut packed pizza base – specially since I wouldn’t have to nurse a fiber baby the rest of the night!
LOL. That is one of my top 3 movies of all time- Behind Bend it like Beckham!
Thanks heaps, Shashi 🙂
Every time I’ve tried to make cauliflower pizza crust, it’s always fallen apart! I’d much rather make a pizza crust like this, I love that it’s made with coconut flour, that’s my absolute favorite flour! Pinning this baby! 🙂
Same here! Thank you!
I can’t WAIT to try this – making this for sure!!
Please do- I just ate one now for a recipe tomorrow! 😀
This looks great! It is just me, or does the pizza base also have flaxseeds? 😛 yummy!
Anyways I definitely have to try the microwave English muffin and cinnamon raisin flatbread as well! And maybe I’d consider making a pizza base ballgown!
Nope, no flaxseeds in the recipe- 3 ingredients and flaxseeds aren’t one of them 🙂
If cauliflower is the king of vegetables, do you think coconut is the queen of fruit? or nuts, or whatever it is… between coconut oil, sugar and flour you can do just about anything 🙂
Haha, thank you Alysia! Oh the silly fruit/nut debate. Actually, what IS it!
Okay WHAT. How can this use only a few ingredients?!!!! Must find some coconut flour and try this immediately!
TRADER JOES!!!!
The whole time I was reading in awe thinking, ‘C’mon Arman, just tell us the mystery recipe!’. This legit looks like the kind of ready to make crust you buy from a store. And while cauliflower is quite… ‘nice’, I am glad I won’t have to deal with anymore in my clothes for a whole week ;).
This is delicious, Niki- Hope you enjoy it!
