Looking for a way to incorporate pumpkin into your everyday recipes this fall season? My easy Three-Ingredient Pumpkin Flatbread is the perfect way to do so. This healthy flatbread recipe comes together quickly, using just two main ingredients. It can be enjoyed on its own, as a sandwich wrap, with curries, or even as a pizza crust.
Pumpkin puree isn’t just for making sweet treats like donuts and muffins. I love adding it to tacos, chili, and curries, but it can also be used to make these super easy pumpkin flatbreads. I make this flatbread recipe a lot, using Greek yogurt, but pumpkin puree also works really well, and I love using it this time of year. These flatbreads can be used for both sweet and savory recipes, or you can enjoy them with some melted butter and a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon.
Why You’ll Love This Easy Pumpkin Recipe
- Easy to make – These pumpkin flatbreads require only three ingredients and come together in about 15 minutes. Once the dough is rolled out, it only needs a few minutes in a pan until it’s cooked through. You can easily make them ahead of time and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.
- Versatile – This pumpkin flatbread can be used in several ways. You can keep it simple and just spread it with melted butter and add some brown sugar. You can use it to wrap up your favorite sandwich toppings, serve alongside a saucy recipe, like curry, or even use it as a pizza crust.
- Great for kids – My kids love these easy wraps and can even help make them. One likes his spread with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, while the other one enjoys his with Nutella. They go great in lunches, too.
Why Your Body Will Love These Pumpkin Wraps
Pumpkins are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients, making them a great addition to your diet. Whether you are using fresh or canned, your body is sure to enjoy the benefits. They’re great for supporting immune health due to their high concentration of both Vitamin A and C. Pumpkin is low in calories and high in fiber, making it ideal for digestion and maintaining a healthy weight.
Easy Pumpkin Flatbread Recipe Ingredients
- Pumpkin Puree – I just used canned pumpkin puree for this recipe, but homemade can be used as well. Make sure you get pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Sweet potato puree can be used as a substitute, if needed.
- Self-Rising Flour – Self-rising flour is flour that already contains baking powder and salt. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can use regular flour; for each cup, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I have not made this flatbread with gluten-free flour, but I think it would work as long as you add baking powder.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – Pumpkin pie spice is optional, but adds lots of seasonal flavor and is especially nice if you are using the pumpkin flatbread for a sweet recipe. Cinnamon can also be used.
How To Make 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Flatbread
- Add the self-rising flour to a large bowl, along with the pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together well.
- Next, add in the pumpkin puree. Use a spoon or a fork to begin mixing everything, and once the pumpkin is partially incorporated, use your hands to mix until you have a ball of dough. The dough may start a little sticky, so you can add a few pinches of extra flour as you mix it until you reach a texture that isn’t sticky and holds together in a ball. Knead the dough for just 1-2 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four equal sections, then roll each into a small ball. Lightly flour a clean surface, place the dough ball down, and carefully roll it out. Do your best to roll the dough into a circle shape, but it doesn’t have to be perfect. You want the dough to be pretty thin, about 1/8-inch thick. If the dough is still sticky while you roll it out, add a few more pinches of flour to firm it up. You can also make them a little thicker if you want more of a naan bread texture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s hot, spray with cooking spray, drizzle with oil, or add butter. Carefully add your flatbread dough to the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side. The dough will start to bubble up once it’s ready to be flipped. I like mine to have some nice dark brown spots, but you can cook yours a little less if you like.
- Allow the flatbread to cool on a wire rack and repeat until the dough is used up. I usually get four large flatbreads from this recipe. This flatbread is warm and fluffy right after cooking, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled if you prefer. Reheat the flatbread in a pan or microwave, if desired.
Recipe Frequently Asked Questions
- This recipe is vegan.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. I haven’t actually tried it myself yet, but I think it should work pretty well.
- Can regular flour be used? You can use regular flour if you add a bit more baking powder and salt. See recipe card for exact amounts.
- Are these wraps sweet? No, they’re not super sweet. Pumpkin isn’t very sweet on its own, and I didn’t add any extra sugar, but you could add a few teaspoons if you want them to be sweeter. You can also top with a sweet topping to bring out the pumpkin’s sweetness.
- How should these wraps be used? I love using them the same way I would use naan bread. You can melt cheese on them, dip them in your favorite sauce, use them as wraps, or eat them as is.
- Are these wraps freezer-friendly? Yes, you can freeze them. I recommend allowing the wraps to cool completely, stacking them on top of each other, with a piece of parchment paper in between, and then placing them in a freezer-friendly container. Freeze flatbread for up to 3 months and reheat in a hot pan or in the microwave. They may not be quite as flexible after being frozen and thawed, but they should still retain their taste.
