Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse 1.5 cups riced cauliflower in a food processor until finely chopped, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture (1 minute).
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mash 1/2 medium avocado until smooth, then mix with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1 large egg, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/8 tsp salt. Fold in squeezed cauliflower until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Lightly grease a non-stick waffle maker with 1 tsp olive oil. Divide mixture into two portions and press firmly into each waffle mold. Close lid and bake for 8 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Step 4: Carefully remove waffles and let cool for 2 minutes to set. Serve warm as a handheld meal with a sprinkle of extra cheddar.
