The Breakfast Pizzert

Wait, what the heck is a pizzert???

Pizzert/ noun.
Dessert pizza. A pizza topped with anything sweet. Bonus points for chocolate.

(Yes, I very much did just make up that definition ;) .  But it should be a real word!)

Above, a Blueberry Muffin Pizzert

Customizable Breakfast Pizzert
Serves 2
…unless you want to eat the whole pizza so you can say “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” like in the commercial!

  • 70 grams (1/2 cup) whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • sweetener (for people with normal tastebuds, use 4 tsp sugar or 1 tsp stevia)
  • 100 grams (a little under 1/2 cup) water (or other liquid, such as juice or non-dairy milk)
  • 35g (2 tablespoons) unsweetened applesauce (or try using coconut oil, pumpkin, canola oil, mashed banana, or even baby food!)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • spices/extracts if you wish (I like adding a little cinnamon)
  • A few handfuls ______ (Fill in the blank! Raspberries? Chocolate chips? Chopped apples, walnuts, and raisins?  Anything goes!!  It’s your pizzert!)

Calories: 100
Fat: .5g
Fiber: 3g

Update: click for a Gluten-Free Version.

To make: 1. Mix everything together and pour into a pan.
(I lightly sprayed my pan with coconut oil spray.) OR some of you have said your pizzerts stick to the pan. In this case,  put it onto a sprayed or oiled baking sheet instead, and use a rolling pin to flatten.

dough

2. Cook in an UNpreheated oven at 420 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
3. Then you get to play!!

I brought out the pizza cutter, just for the occasion :) .

Menu Ideas:

1.Elvis Pizzert: Add chopped peanuts + banana to batter. Ice with Banana Butter.  
2.Tropical Pizzert: Sub coconut oil for applesauce, add shredded coconut. Top with pineapple + coconut butter.
3.Savory Pizzert (which kinda goes against the whole “pizzert” concept lol): Simply leave out the sweetener.
4.Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pizzert: Add chocolate chips, walnuts, and oats to the batter

What would you put on/in your pizzert???

See you on the other side… the dessert side. :)

I’m thinking a nutty chocolate pizzert sounds grand to me!

i made a pan fried version of this yesterday. ok, so it was pancakes… but it was the same exact basic recipe. I added to the spelt flour, cocoa powder, vanilla stevia, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut extract and used coconut milk beverage as the liquid. then i made a sauce with melted dark chocolate, coconut oil and coconut butter. um, heaven.

A April 10, 2010 at 5:51 pm

I’m going to make this RIGHT NOW. lol. It looks soooo yummy I can’t resist! I think i’ll make a blueberry one, with some form of nut butter on top for icing :)
nom nom nom!!
Thanks for the recipe!!!

I really want to try this out! Would regular flour be ok?

Reply

Lorin April 19, 2010 at 8:20 pm

Do you have to use whole wheat pastry flour or can you use something else?? Like regular all purpose flour or a mix of that and oatmeal??

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie April 19, 2010 at 10:37 pm

Hey Lorin!
You definitely don’t have to use ww pastry flour! :)
I’m sure regular white flour would work fine. The only flour I’d caution against using is regular whole wheat flour, because it might yield a gummy texture. (But if you like “gummy” textures, you can still use it.)

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie April 19, 2010 at 10:38 pm

Oh, Katharina, I emailed you and basically said the same thing as my comment above :)

natalie ditullio April 25, 2010 at 12:20 pm

I made it this morning and subbed in 1/4 cup corn meal for the flour (ran out of ww pastry). I added in berries and skipped the banana/applesauce part for the first try. Little guy loved it.

Hey CCK!

Just made these Red Velvet Pancakes: http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/02/15/vegan-red-velvet-pancakes/

What about a Red Velvet Pizzert: double the Red Velvet Pancake recipe, then bake in a cake pan like the pizzert. What do you think? I think it must be made!

Jen March 20, 2011 at 2:32 pm

Katie, do you bake these in a standard 8 or 9 inch cake pan? And if you do, do you think it would work just as well in a square 8×8 inch glass baking dish?

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie March 20, 2011 at 2:40 pm

Yup, a standard-sized pan… but actually I’ve been loving the option I wrote about in this post: to put it on a baking sheet. It’s much easier to take out that way! Oh, but to answer our question, I think it would work your way too :) .

Reply

Emilie March 26, 2011 at 2:34 pm

How can I get my pizzert to have more of a crust on the top?

Love your blog, btw :)

Chocolate-Covered Katie March 26, 2011 at 10:33 pm

Hey Emilie!
I’m not really sure what you mean by “crust” on the top… can you be more specific as to what you mean? Do you mean you want it crispy?

Reply

kaila @ healthy helper! April 17, 2011 at 1:41 pm

Katie…what does it mean for an oven to be unpreheated? I wanted to make this for breakfast today….but I just wasn’t sure what you meant.

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie April 17, 2011 at 2:44 pm

As soon as you turn the oven on, put the pizzert in. Don’t wait for the oven to heat up and beep when it reaches the temperature you set it for. Does this make sense?

Reply

kaila @healthyhelperblog! April 17, 2011 at 2:48 pm

OH okay! That’s what I figured but I just wanted to make sure! Thanks Katie! So excited to try this out!

Reply

Ashley May 7, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Do you think the dough could be folded over to make a calzone-like creation? and maybe put the blueberries inside? Maybe adding yeast would be ideal?

Help!! :)

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie May 7, 2011 at 2:40 pm

Hey Ashley!
I think that sounds like a delicious idea! If you make it, let me know how it turns out!
(I don’t think you’d need yeast. But honestly, I have never made anything with yeast… I need to get over my fear of using it. I’m sure it can’t be as complicated as I’ve built it up to be in my head lol!)

I just made this for breakfast and it was delicious! I left the batter plain since I couldn’t decide what I wanted to put in it. I ended up topping it with melted banana, 1 T tofutti, 1 T of almond butter mixed in the food processor and then drizzled 1 t of maple syrup over the whole thing. When I eat the other half I will definitely add some berries on top :) It was creamy deliciousness, thank you! Oh and I spread it on a silicon mat on a baking sheet and it turned out great. ~Leslie

This is so yummy! I’ve already made it 3 times. Today I used sprinkles and topped it with coconut butter, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. I like to eat it straight out of the pan — makes me feel like I’m really pigging out! Sort of like a giant warm healthier cookie.

Elise September 26, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Mmmm I made this for the first time today using oat flour, stevia, almond milk, and coconut oil. I topped it with strawberries and cheesecake frosting :)

So far, the few times that I’ve used stevia, it doesn’t seem to be sweetening anything at all :(

But anyways, I had one question: to melt the coconut oil, should I scoop it out of the jar and microwave it separately or can I just microwave the whole jar?

Reply

Chocolate-Covered Katie September 27, 2011 at 9:17 am

You can do either :) . You only have to melt it a few seconds though. Maybe like 20?

Probably not. It’s more like a pancake texture. But these are kinda like scones:

I’ve just started this recipe, using 100g frozen blueberries and adding a little more flour ((due to the water in the blueberries.
I have to rush off, so have left it unbaked in the fridge so that I can cook it when I get back. Looking forward to the results for breakfast tomorrow!!
Katie, is it OK if when I put the recipe on my page, I put a link to this recipe, please?? Quite new to the blogging world so I don’t really know the “rules”, as such.
Back soon!!

Reply

Aly December 1, 2011 at 1:38 pm

Update: Not only did it work, but it’s probably my favorite breakfast to date! I even used whole wheat flour and (although I enjoy dense bread) it was not too “gummy” at all :) I’m so happy I may just have this for dessert tonight- ha breakfast and dessert the same?
