Cauliflower Oats

A big, filling breakfast that uses riced cauliflower to bulk up the oats — you get a huge bowl with way more fiber and volume. Sounds odd, tastes like chocolate-berry oatmeal.

Cauliflower Oats
10 minutesServes 3–4 large bowls

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 whole bag (about 12 oz) frozen riced cauliflower
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 whole bag (about 10–12 oz) frozen blueberries or cherries
  • Chocolate protein powder (1 scoop per serving, or to taste)
  • Optional: a splash of plant milk to finish, cinnamon, banana slices

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add water, oats, and frozen riced cauliflower to a medium pot.

  2. 2

    Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until the cauliflower has softened and the oats are creamy — about 5–7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the frozen berries or cherries. They'll cool the oats and turn the whole pot a beautiful purple-red.

  4. 4

    Once the fruit has thawed and warmed through, stir in the chocolate protein powder.

  5. 5

    Scoop into bowls and top with a splash of plant milk, cinnamon, or sliced banana if you like.

Notes & tips

  • Make-ahead: cooks down to a big batch — reheat in the microwave with a splash of plant milk.
  • Texture: the cauliflower disappears once cooked; you really can't taste it.
