When you want pizza now, or dinner should have been in the oven 20 minutes ago, you don’t have time for slowly simmering a pizza sauce. And, if you’re a Trim Healthy Mama, you know it’s not always easy to find a store-bought sauce with no added sugar. My 5 Minute Homemade Pizza Sauce is almost as fast as opening a jar of store bought sauce and contains no off-plan ingredients!
Friday nights are typically pizza nights for us. My family doesn’t always eat on plan pizza and sometimes I indulge as well.
But whether I make homemade, off-plan pizza or an on-plan version for myself, I make this super easy homemade pizza sauce.
A slowly simmered sauce is amazing, of course, and if you want to simmer it feel free! But it’s still delicious just mixing it up and spreading it right on the crust.
And seriously, it takes just 5 minutes. Or less, if your spices are organized 😉
How To Make 5 Minute Homemade Pizza Sauce.
This is almost a non-recipe. I normally just shake some seasonings in there until I like how it tastes.
But, you need measurements! So I actually measured things so I could write this post for you. Here’s how easy it is:
- Open a can of tomato sauce and pour into a small bowl.
- Measure olive oil, sweetener, spices, and salt into the bowl.
- Stir well.
Then, just spread it on your pizza crust, add your favorite toppings, and bake.
Why Should I Make It When I Can Just Buy It?
If you’re following the Trim Healthy Mama you know that added sugars are something we don’t want in our foods.
It’s not always easy to find pizza sauce that doesn’t have sugar added to it. Making your own keeps your pizza on-plan.
It’s frugal, too! An 8 ounce can of tomato sauce is well under a dollar. You likely have all the other ingredients on hand, too.
It might take a bit longer than opening a jar or can of pizza sauce from the store but honestly, not that much!
How To Fit This Easy Pizza Sauce Recipe Into Your THM Meal Plan.
As written, it’s a THM FP with just 1 gram of fat per tablespoon. You can cut back on the olive oil though if you’d like to use it in an E or FP meal and want less fat.
Use it on any kind of pizza crust. If you have a Himalayan salt plate, I highly recommend making my Himalayan Salt Plate Pizza. It makes the cheese dough based crust absolutely amazing!
Or, make my Low Carb Pizza Bites with it! Anywhere you need a no-sugar pizza sauce this is perfect.
