Cauliflower Breakfast Porridge
Description
Cauliflower Breakfast Porridge uses grated cauliflower as a base cooked directly in coconut and almond milks combined with a hint of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. The porridge simmers gently until thick and creamy, absorbing the flavors while keeping a soft, slightly grainy texture. The mild sweetness from the maple syrup and banana option balances the natural earthiness of cauliflower, with cinnamon adding a warm spice note.
The finished porridge can be served hot topped with fresh berries, raspberry, hemp seeds, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness and texture contrast. This dish provides a unique breakfast option for those seeking a low-grain or vegetable-forward meal.
For natural sweetness without added sugar, the original notes suggest substituting maple syrup with mashed ripe bananas. The recipe includes a pinch of salt to enhance overall flavor balance. Cooking time is about 15 minutes with occasional stirring to prevent sticking and promote a smooth consistency. The use of two types of milk contributes to creamy richness without dairy.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower grated, head
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 3 to 4 Tbsp pure maple syrup to taste*
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
For Serving:
- blueberries
- raspberry

Instructions
- Remove the hard stems from the head of cauliflower and either grate it using a box grater or chop it and pulse it in a food processor to form rice-sized pieces. It should come up to about 3 cups.
- Heat cauliflower rice, coconut milk, almond milk, pure maple syrup, cinnamon, and sea salt in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a full boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 15 minutes until thick, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the pure vanilla extract. Pour into bowls and serve cauliflower breakfast porridge with fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds.
Notes
- Use 1 to 2 ripe mashed bananas to naturally sweeten the porridge instead of maple syrup.
- Grate cauliflower finely or pulse in a food processor to achieve rice-sized pieces for best texture.
- Cook with occasional stirring to avoid scorching and ensure even thickening.
- Serve immediately with fresh fruits and seeds for added flavor and nutrition.
