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
  • hemp seed
  • pure maple syrup

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
