Traditional real oatmeal is healthy for you no doubt. It contains a lot of essential dietary fiber that your body needs. But sometimes it is just fun to play around with different food ingredients and make your morning oatmeal that more interesting. Meal times can be play times too you know! In this “oatmeal” recipe, I am using riced cauliflower instead…imagine that!
In a steamer, steam cauliflower rice until soften, about 10 to 15 minutes. If you are starting out with a whole head of cauliflower, remove the tough bottom and core and chop into fine pieces with your chef’s knife (i.e. ricing the cauliflower).
Once the cauliflower rice is done, remove from steamer into a mixing bowl and add butter. The residual heat from the cauliflower will melt the butter. Season with salt (if using).
Once the cauliflower has cooled, add the almond milk and stir well to combine. It is ok if your cauliflower starts becoming a little mushy as you mix in the almond milk. It is supposed to be faux oatmeal remember?
Dish onto serving plate and top with sliced banana, fresh berries and sprinkle with ground flaxseeds and ground cinnamon.
