A Simple and Versatile Sweet Pizza Recipe
Not only will you be eating a refreshingly delicious breakfast, you will also be getting your daily dose of protein, fiber, carbs, and vitamins in every slice. You can use a variety of fruits depending on what you have or what is in season.
If you want to serve the vegan fruit pizza as a sweet snack or dessert, you can simply spread it with creamy vanilla or chocolate pudding or whipped dairy-free cream. Instead of fresh fruits, you can also use compote, jam, fruit sauce, or chocolate sauce. Feel free to load it up with your favorite toppings and get really creative. You can also do a fun “build-your-own-fruit-pizza” activity with your kids – they will love it for sure!
Ingredients Needed and Possible Alternatives
- Rolled oats: also called old-fashioned oats. You can also use quick-cooking oats or other cereals if you prefer. Make sure the brand you are using is labeled as “gluten-free”.
- Banana: this will help bind the oats together and add a natural sweetness to the crust. You can also use applesauce, mango purée, or vegan thick dairy-free yogurt. Banana is naturally sweet, however, feel free to add some maple syrup, agave syrup or other types of sugar or sweeteners.
- Baking powder: to loosen up the crust.
- Cinnamon or vanilla: to add more flavor to the banana oatmeal crust.
- Dairy-free yogurt. This is what I used as a base topping. You can go with plain or used flavored varieties as you please. You can also go with cool whip, or pudding if you prefer.
- Fruits and berries. Use whatever you like! Bananas, mango, peaches, kiwi, apples, pomegranate, pineapple, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, red currants, cranberries, and physalis.
How to make Breakfast Fruit Pizza with Oatmeal Crust
As always, I recommend checking out the recipe video and these step-by-step instructions first. Then you can find the full recipe with the exact measurements in the recipe card below!
Step 1: Make oatmeal pizza dough
Start by mashing the banana with a fork. Then combine mashed banana with oats, baking powder and cinnamon. Transfer the oat-banana mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and shape it into a round pizza.
Step 2: Bake and enjoy!
Bake the pizza at 356 °F (180 °C) for about 15-20 minutes. Then allow to cool and top with yogurt and top with desired fruits and other toppings. Enjoy!
What Other Toppings Can I Use to Make Breakfast Fruit Pizza?
This is where you can really have fun! Here are some ideas for you to explore:
- Nut butters like almond, hazelnut, macadamia or peanut butter.
- Desiccated coconut or coconut chips
- Chopped nuts like pecans, almonds, and walnuts. You can also make it nut-free by using chia, flax, hemp, sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
- Granola
- Chopped chocolate
- Mint leaves
- Dried fruits
- Compote
- Fruit jams or sauces like my favorite raspberry sauce
- Vegan Nutella or other sweet chocolate spreads
Helpful Tips
- Baking time will depend on how big and thick your crust is. I used a 20 cm round baking pan and the oatmeal crust came out perfectly golden and baked in less than 20 minutes.
- Let the crust cool down for a few minutes before adding the toppings, especially the yogurt base.
- It is best to eat the school breakfast pizza immediately after adding the topping, as the oat crust will soften over time because of the yogurt and fruits.
Can I Make this Ahead of Time?
Homemade pizza always tastes best freshly baked! To save time, you can assemble the banana-oat crust ahead of time and bake it in the morning. You can also keep the baked crust in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 days, just like these banana oatmeal bars.

Hi! I love this idea for breakfast pizza, and want to make it for my 3 year old grandson who is a picky eater. In the ingredients you mention baking powder and cinnamon, which you don’t use in the description. In the descriptions you mention Maple syrup, and that’s not in the ingredients 🙂 No problem ofcourse, I can think and choose for myself, but is the baking powder an essential ingredient to add? Kind regards!
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention the cinnamon. I have corrected this! Thank you. 🙂
It’s not necessary to add maple syrup but you can add this if you prefer it sweeter. Baking powder is essential.
Glad your little one loved this healthy breakfast pizza. <3
