This recipe started as one of those “what if?” kitchen experiments. I was blending up my usual oats one morning when I wondered—could this actually turn into a pita? A few test runs (and some slightly questionable results) later, I finally landed on something that worked: soft, chewy, and totally satisfying.

What I love about these Oatmeal Pita Pockets is how healthy and practical they are. They’re easy to prep ahead, perfect for quick lunches, and give you that “I’m eating bread” feeling without actually reaching for flour. It’s become one of my weekday staples, especially when I want something clean and filling without much effort.

Let’s get cooking! 🫓✨

Oatmeal Pita Pocket Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oatmeal
• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 can of tuna
• 1/2 cup garbanzo beans
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 whole tomato
• Cashew butter
• 1 whole apple
• 1/2 purple onion (chopped)
• 2 sticks of celery (chopped)

 

Instructions:

 

1. In a blender, combine 2 cups of oatmeal, 3 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

 

 

2. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth.

 

 

3. Heat a pan over low heat and cook the mixture for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes.

 

 

4. When the pita bubbles up, it’s fully cooked inside. Be patient—it’s worth it!

 

 

5. While the pita cooks, prepare the healthy tuna salad. Using a chopper, finely chop 1/2 a purple onion and 2 celery sticks.

 

 

6. Add 1 can of tuna and 1/2 cup of garbanzo beans for an extra protein boost.

 

 

7. Stir in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

 

 

8. Mix well—your delicious tuna salad is ready to go!

 

 

9. Once the oatmeal pita is done, use scissors to cut the top part and create a pocket.

 

 

10. Fill one with the tuna salad and sliced tomato for a savory bite.

 

 

11. For a sweeter version, spread cashew butter inside and add sliced apple.
