Notes
You can use riced cauliflower for this recipe, however I highly recommend throwing a few pieces of cauliflower into a food processor and grinding it up for a minute or two until it’s nice and fine. The consistency should be similar to almond flour. Just keep in mind that because of the natural water cauliflower contains, the ground up cauliflower will be much wetter than almond flour. I make a bunch of ground up cauliflower in the beginning of the week and pack it in an airtight container to store in the refrigerator. That way I can use it throughout the week to make cauliflower oats or throw it in my eggs for some added veggies.
**Below I have added some photos of what the cauliflower should look like before being processed in the food processor and what it should appear like after being ground up.**
