Cauliflower Steel Cut Protein Oats: A high-protein oatmeal made with a hidden cup of cauliflower rice for added bulk, veggie intake and nutrition! It’s my everyday breakfast and might just turn into yours too.

Instructions
Cook Oats:
Bring water to boil in a saucepan.
Stir in the oats and bring to a boil again.
Cover with a lid, reduce heat to a low simmer, and let cook 20 minutes (or longer if needed) until soft and creamy. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
If oats get too thick, add water to thin it out.
Prepare Cauliflower:
Pulse cauliflower in a food processor and until finely ground into “rice” form.
Transfer to a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for about 30 seconds.
Assemble:
Add cauliflower and protein powder to oats and stir gently with folding motions (you don't want to make it mushy!). Add water 1 Tbsp at a time to thin.
Re-heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Top with all your favorites and serve hot!

Cool oats completely before storing.
