Cauliflower is the star vegetable of the keto diet. You can transform it into rice, smoothies, pizza — and even oatmeal! Instead of using oats, cauliflower makes the perfect noatmeal base. You get a similar texture, neutral flavor, more vitamins, and less sugar.

To capture the same thickness and texture of oatmeal, this noatmeal recipe cooks down the cauliflower rice with full-fat coconut milk and uses natural thickeners like whole eggs. Sweeten with a low-glycemic sweetener like stevia, xylitol, or MitoSweet, and you get a creamy breakfast without the added carbs.

Serve chocolate noatmeal with keto breakfast basics like bacon and eggs, or go for death by chocolate with rich keto muffins or donuts for a sweet start to your day.
