Recipe: Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal

Ingredients

• 1/2-1 cup cauliflower rice *see note
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup frozen cherries
• 2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup plant milk
• 1 tbsp ground flax seeds (or chia seeds)

Directions

1. Warm cauliflower rice according to package instructions or steam until soft. (I place microwaveable bags of riced cauliflower in the microwave for 5 minutes.)
2. Add rolled oats, frozen cherries, cocoa powder, and plant milk to a bowl.
3. Mix thoroughly and warm in the microwave for one minute (or until it’s warmed to your liking).
4. Add cauliflower rice, and ground flax seeds.
5. Mix and enjoy!

Notes

• If you have leftover cauliflower rice, add it in step 2.
• I like to use about 3/4 to 1 cup of cauliflower rice. I recommend starting with less, taste testing, and adding more as desired. When I make this for my 5 year old, I use about 1/2 cup.
• I like to eat this recipe as is, but I also sometimes like to top it with banana slices, berries, or more cherries.
• To add more sweetness, simply add raisins, chopped dates, date syrup, or maple syrup.
