Cauliflower Oatmeal (Edit recipe)

Date Paste

1. Mix 1 cup pitted dates with 1/2 cup hot water, pushing the dates down into the water to moisten all. Let soak for 5 minutes. Puree in a blender or mixer until it makes a smooth paste.

Cauliflower Oatmeal

1. Put a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add coconut oil and stir until melted. Add cauliflower rice and stir. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is translucent and tender.
2. Add milk of choice and vanilla, bringing to a simmer.
3. Mix 2 tablespoons flour with 2 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl. Once mixed, add to cauliflower mixture and increase heat to medium-high. This will act like a thickener similar to cornstarch and should thicken it up within a minute or so of adding. If it's still not to your preferred thickness, mix together another tablespoon flour + tablespoon water and add. Cauliflower oatmeal should be thick and creamy, not soupy! If you used almond milk instead of coconut milk, you might need a little extra thickening.
4. Remove from heat, add date paste and add toppings of choice such as berries, chopped nuts or coconut, seeds, fruit like bananas, mango, or peaches. Pair with a protein (or stir in collagen or protein powder of your choice!) to balance it out and enjoy.
