Creamy Cauliflower “Oatmeal”

It can be tricky to find healthy breakfast options that actually feel like breakfast foods. Once again, cauliflower proves its versatility in this low-carb, protein-packed breakfast that is seriously satisfying.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of cauliflower rice
• 4 tablespoons of almond butter (no sugar added)
• 2 cups of almond milk (original, no sugar added)
• 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal
• 2 teaspoons of cinnamon (or to taste)
• berries (your choice)
• 2 teaspoons of maple syrup (optional) (or to taste)
• Nuts (pecans or walnuts are my favorite on this dish)

Directions:

• Combine almond milk, flaxseed, cinnamon and almond butter in medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir until smooth
• Add cauliflower rice and berries
• Simmer for 5-6 minutes, or to desired consistency
• Mix in syrup, nuts and additional berries to taste and enjoy

Pro Tips:

• Save time and make your cauliflower rice ahead of time by dividing it into 1 cup portions. Freeze whatever you don’t plan to use within 2 days, as cauliflower can get stinky in the fridge. Check out my super simple cauliflower rice recipe here.
• Add more almond milk for a wetter consistency, or less if you like it thicker.
• Make this dish AIP-friendly by swapping out the almond milk with coconut milk, using tiger nut flour instead of flaxseed (or omitting altogether), swapping tigernut butter for almond butter, and leaving off the nuts.
• Make this dish paleo-friendly and candida cleanse friendly by omitting the syrup. Let the juice from the berries be your sweetener.
• This makes 1-2 servings, depending how hungry you are.
