"Cauli-oats" Breakfast Bowls

Published March 11, 2019

A bowl of Cauli-Oats topped with blueberries sits on a marble counter top with a spoon resting in the background.

Wake up your taste buds with this fresh take on the basic breakfast bowl.

Cauliflower proves its ability yet again to be a power player in the produce aisle, this time around taking the place of oats in this sweetly satisfying dish.

Full of filling fiber, cauliflower also contains an impressive line-up of nutrients. One cup of cauliflower contains nearly 80% of your vitamin C needs for the day, making it a smarter choice for that morning glass of OJ.

Cauliflower also is rich in vitamins K and B6, as well as folate, potassium and a group of antioxidants shown to protect against chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.

Fresh apples and blueberries add extra vitamins, antioxidants and a hint of natural sweetness, while walnuts and tahini – a paste made from ground sesame seeds – provide protein to make this bowl a powerful way to start your day.

Directions

STEP 1

Place the cauliflower rice and almond milk in a shallow pan set on medium heat. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, cloves, vanilla extract and honey and cook approximately 5 minutes.

STEP 2

Add the apples and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

STEP 3

Add blueberries and give the mixture another good stir. Remove from heat.

STEP 4

Divide between two bowls and top each with chopped walnuts and a tablespoon of tahini. Add a drizzle of honey and extra blueberries, if desired.
