5 Gluten Free Pizza Crust Alternatives

If you love pizza as much as I do, it can be a tough break up if you need to be gluten free. Don’t worry – I’m satisfying your pizza cravings with these 5 Gluten Free Pizza Crust Alternatives!

It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of pizza! After all, I truly believe it’s a more nutritiously-balanced meal compared to breakfast cereal. 😉 However, there are times when I want a lighter bite, or need my pizza, STAT!

Usually, this is when I swap traditional pizza crust for something that leaves me with bounds of energy, like veggies or whole grains. This simple swap satisfies my pizza cravings, without the bloat that I sometimes get from traditional pizza crust (just me?).

I shared a couple of my favorite pizza crust alternatives with Dr. Oz this week on The Dr. Oz Show and wanted to share a these, plus a few more, with you…

Because I completely understand how downright annoying food intolerances can be! However, you can satisfy your cravings, gluten free and all, with delicious alternatives!

Here are 5 Gluten Free Pizza Crust Alternatives to test out the next time a pizza craving strikes:

1. Quinoa Pizza Crust

Quinoa has long been one of my favorite whole grains… OK, technically it’s a seed. This recipe is full of whole grains and flavor, but gluten free and easy to make in less than 30 minutes. You can grab the full recipe here.

2. Portobello Mushroom Cap Pizzas

I share this recipe a couple of months ago and it was a HIT! Just stuff all of your usual pizza toppings into a large portobello mushroom, and voila – pizza in minutes! This is also a great way to deliciously increase your veggie intake.

3. Cauliflower Pizza Crust

This trend isn’t new at all, but I have a feeling it’s going no where! Although it’s definitely NOT pizza (it’s thinner and tends to fall apart easily), it’s a great vehicle to satisfy your hankering for some ‘za! You can check out this recipe I shared with Dr. Oz here.

4. Pumpkin Oat Pizza Crust

The original pizza crust alternative I shared years ago continues to be a favorite in our house. It’s so easy to make with an ingredient you likely have in your pantry – OATS! Plus, it contains a hefty dose of vitamin A, thanks to canned pumpkin. I hope you try this one out because it really is a favorite! 🙂

5. Brownie Pizza Crust

I couldn’t round up my favorite gluten free pizza crust alternatives without a dessert option too! This brownie pizza crust is low in added sugar, full of healthy fats (thank you avocado) and made with coconut flour, a high fiber grain alternative.

Many mainstream grocery stores are starting to carry coconut flour, but you can easily order it online (I love Thrive Market – affiliate link).
