I absolutely love these Snickerdoodle Overnight Cauliflower Oats. They’re cozy and creamy with that wonderful sweet vanilla and cinnamon snickerdoodle flavour.  Even my son who says he doesn’t like oats likes these!  Bonus is, they contain no added sugar and are packed with veggies, fibre, healthy fats, and protein, too!

Don’t let the cauliflower in here scare you off! The cauliflower is optional, but if you haven’t tried it in oats, it’s worth a shot.  You get a great chew and lots of nutrients and — trust me! — you honestly can’t taste it! My family is wise to my ways now, but none of my non-family taste-testers could believe this porridge contained cauliflower!

I am able to use frozen riced cauliflower straight from the bag. However, you can also pre-steam and chill or freeze if needed for better digestion.
