No Friday would be complete without a seriously delicious pizza. Check out how easy these gorgeous pizzas are to re-create at home (using our very own Progress Oatlets), and you’ll be making your own Italian fakeaways every Friday night. Ciao! #FlahavansOats

Ingredients:
For the Pizza Bases:

For the tomato topping:
400g tin chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp honey
1 tsp sea salt flakes
Couple of grinds of black pepper

Method:
For the Pizza Bases:
Pre-heat the oven 200C
Combine the oats, egg white, salt and season in a high-speed blender and blitz for 2 minutes until completely blended.
Heat a small heavy based frying pan over a medium heat.
Add one tsp of vegetable oil.
Spread half the oat mixture over the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the mixture firms up.
Move the oat base onto a lined baking sheet and spread over the toppings and bake for 5 minutes until the pizza is cooked through
