Nectarine Basil Flatbreads

4 servings Prep time: 20 min Cook time: 5 min

These beautiful Nectarine Basil Flatbreads are surprisingly easy to make and come together in under 30 minutes! I love the seasonal flavors of sweet nectarines with herby basil, which pair great with tangy almond ricotta.

Coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and yogurt create a fiber-rich flatbread base that can quickly be cooked on the stovetop. More fiber means a lower glycemic response, which is a great way to balance the naturally occurring sugars in the nectarines. Beyond sweetness, nectarines also offer vitamins A and C, copper, and antioxidants like anthocyanins. 

Add these to your weekly meal plan for an easy appetizer or light dinner the whole family will love!
