A small intro before I dive into today’s post! First off BIG thank you to Kalee for letting me takeover her corner of the webfor a bit this week! I am so excited to be guest posting here about my favorite paleo pita bread and to connect with all of you.

Today I’ll show you how to make soft and doughy pita breads perfect for stuffing with your favorite paleo-friendly foods!
Simply made from plantains and egg whites, the 3Ingredient Paleo Pita Bread is low-fat, high in protein, and has a cake like texture that’shard to beat. Easy to make, delicious to eat!
Do you have certain recipes in your head that are so easy, sofamiliar that you don’t even need to write them down anymore? Staples that you makeweekly or monthly that seem so simple that they’re not even worth sharing?
In the past, I’ve called these ‘common sense‘ recipes. But what I’ve learned is that not everyone is as comfortable in thekitchen as I am. I grew up in a home where helping my mom in the kitchen was encouraged.
She taught me cooking techniques, how to follow recipes, and inspired me to startexperimenting on my own. Not everyone was so lucky to have that luxury as a child,however. So I have to admit I’ve taken my love of cooking and familiarity with making food from scratch for granted.
So simple recipes aren’t silly! In fact, they’re great for beginners!
Let’s be honest, most people don’t have a lot of time to prepare elaborate, intensive recipesanyways. The simpler, the less ingredients, the easier to throw together….THE BETTER.
Bonus points if the recipe is healthy!
Well, the recipe I have to share today checks all of those boxesand more!
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to share this recipe. I havereally been holding out on you since I’ve been making these 3 Ingredient PaleoPita Breads FOREVER.
A lot of you have even asked about them on Instagram, and I alwayssaid I’d share them on the blog eventually.
Well, today is the day! As you can tell from the name, they haveminimal ingredients, are totally paleo friendly, and taste amazing! They’re also grain-free(so obviously gluten-free, as well!), high in protein, and have the most delicious, cake-liketexture from using a special ingredient….PLANTAINS. AKA: The Paleo Wonderfood!
I swear everyone who is on the Paleo diet seems to be obsessed with plantains. No judgement though…you know my obsession with kabocha! ;)
3 Ingredient Paleo Pita Bread
Author: Kaila Proulx
Prep time: mins
Cook time: mins
Total time: mins
Serves: 10 pitas
Ingredients
- 2 medium green plantains (approx. 350 grams)
- 1.5 cups liquid egg whites
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400. Slice plantains into chunks. Place allingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Place parchment paper on bakingsheet and spoon batter into 10 equally sized circles (you will need more than one cookiesheet). Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Store in thefreezer and thaw before using.
As I mentioned above, these Paleo pitas are a total staple in my house!
A few times a month I do a big ‘freezer food-prep’ in which I make a ton of baked goods,breads (including these pitas), protein options, and other random stuff to restock my freezer stash. I love having meal/snack components already madeup and on hand for when I am super busy and don’t really have time to cook. Doing it all atone time a few times a month makes healthy eating a no brainer!
These pita breads pretty much suit everyone’s needs! They’regreat for most peopleno matter what dietyou follow and they’re so versatile.
Some of myfavorite ways to use theminclude…
- spreading with peanut butter and blueberry jam
- topping with goat’s milk cream cheese and jelly
- dipping in black bean humus and salsa
- stuffing with raw tempeh and pesto (strange butgood!)
- toasting and eating with a sprinkle of cinnamon(they are THAT good on their own!)
I’d love to hear what you all come up with when you try theseout!
