Hi Friends!
I originally shared this post almost 5 years ago. I was on vacation and my friend Lauren, a fellow Columbus RD (we actually did ourDietetic Internship together at Ohio State), took over for the day.. She shared this Fruit Pizza with Oatmeal Flax Crust and this week I decided to give it a little upgrade and reintroduce it to you guys because it’s the perfect, kid-friendly breakfast or snack…especially for summer with all the fresh fruit available!
What I love about this recipe is that it’s so easy to customize. I tested Lauren’s original recipe using unsweetened pea milk (instead of vanilla almond milk, adding pumpkin seeds for some extra protein and leaving out the coconut. I found that the crust wasn’t quite sweet enough for my liking. So, I made a few tweaks and Squish loved it! I added a couple of dates for some natural sweetness and added fiber. If you make it with vanilla flavored milk and include the coconut, you could probably leave out the dates, but I like the addition. I also adjusted the recipe to make two personal pizzas at a time.
I’ve left the original recipe in the notes section of the recipe if you’d like to see it!

- Cook Time: 10 min
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: makes 2 personal pizzas 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 dates, roughly chopped
- 1/4 c pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 1–2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (i use unsweetened pea milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- peanut butter or yogurt and fresh fruit for topping
- Chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper
- Add dates and pumpkin seeds to the food processor and process until chopped.
- Add oats, flax, cinnamon (and coconut if using) and process until well combined and chopped.
- Add milk and vanilla and process until a ball starts to form.
- The dough will be sticky and wet. Scoop out with a spoon, divide in half and use a small piece of parchment paper to press each half of the dough into a circle of your desired thickness. You can also wet your fingers and spread it that way so it doesn’t stick as much.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then let crust cool for a few minutes.
- Spread with your choice of peanut butter or yogurt and top with fruit and chocolate chips
Notes
Here’s the original recipe: 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk, 1 Tbsp shredded coconut, ground flax, 1-2 tspcinnamon.

Lisa saysOh wow this looks amazing! So colorful and pretty. I wonder if it would work with chia instead of flax. I’m allergic to the flaxseeds.

Yummy!! I once made fruit “pizzas” out of pancakes and LOVED them. I like your idea to use nut butter as the “sauce.”

This looks incredible! The oatmeal-flax crust sounds like it will have so much more flavor than the cauliflower crust that is my go-to!

This looks delicious! How many servings is this recipe intended to make? Does one batch of this recipe = one fruit pizza = a serving for one person?
Reply
- Lauren Aeh says
Hi Melissa! The recipe is intended to yield one fruit pizza. When I make it, my fiance and I split it. It also depends on how thin you make the crust. I usually spread it out so it is more in the thin side to yield a bigger pizza. Hope this helps some! 🙂

Hi! I was interested to make this today, but the recipe does not seem to state how much this makes — how many servings is 1 recipe? I suggest this type of info should be included in all recipes you post 🙂 Thanks.

I made this for a memorial day weekend cookout. Didn’t realize how small it yielded, although tastes super yummy. I blended a banana into peanut butter.

Yum! I made this recipe this morning and it was enough for both me and my husband. I didn’t have dates or pepitas so I used a few raisins and a handful of cashews – tasted good but I want to make your exact recipe sometime to compare.
