Glutenfree soft pitas or small tortillas made from sweet potato and oat flour
These glutenfree and vegan flatbreads can be used as soft pitas or small tortillas. When used as pitas, you can fill them with (vegan) kebab or gyros. Then they are not the hard pita breads that have to be cut open, but the soft pitas you fold closed. The same as you would when you use them as tortillas. Then to fill up with guacamole or pulled oyster mushrooms.

Other wraps or tortillas
The soft pitas are pliable enough to be folded once, but they are too breakable to roll up as wraps. So they are not suited for burritos. Then use these wraps, also made from sweet potato and oat flour, but also with tapioca added. The wraps can be rolled quite thin and they can be rolled out larger.
Ingredients
And right here you can see why I love to make these so much. They are quick and easy, and have just two ingredients!
- Sweet potato – I usually use some leftover roasted or steamed potato from the day before. Just mash it. It’s also great to have one (or half) cup portions in the freezer.
- Oat flour – If you don’t have that, just grind old fashioned rolled or cut oats into flour yourself.
Are oats glutenfree?
Oats are naturally glutenfree. But they are often processed in the same place as wheat or other gluten containing grains. So they can be cross contaminated. Always check the labels to see if they are guaranteed glutenfree.
FAQ’s
Yes.
Yes, they are glutenfree and fatfree.
Yes, but only when oats are ok on your cleanse. For example on the first 3 days of a 369 original.
No, oats are grains.

- large ceramic non-stick pan
- bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup sweet potatoe roasted/cooked and mashed
- ½ cup oat flour
Instructions
- For this recipe you have to make mashed sweet potato first. This can be done by pealing them and steam them cut in cubes for 20 minutes. Or roast them in the oven at 430F or 220 C for about half an hour to 45 minutes (or even more if you have realy large potatoes).
- Mix the flour with the mashed sweet potatoes. First with a fork, than knead by hand. Let it rest for a bit so the oat flour can absorb the fluids from the potatoes.
- Prepare two small pieces of parchment paper with a little bit of flour.
- Divide the dough into two balls. Form a small flat in your hand. Place it on the parchment paper. By hand widen the pita/tortilla of at least 5 inches (12 cm) or just a bit bigger.
- Then flip the pita/tortilla over and place in a hot pan. Bake for 2 minutes. In the meantime, take away the parchment paper.
- Then bake on the other side for 1.5 or 2 minutes.
