If you have holiday brain like me, you wake up and hit the ground running, trying to do way too many things in way too little time. I love grab-and-go breakfasts, especially the kind sloppily mixed in a mason jar that emerges from the refrigerator the next morning with a delicious halo the next morning.
I’m sure you’ve heard of overnight oats, and maybe even zucchini overnight oats, but have you tried cauliflower in your oatmeal yet? If you’re new to this whole vegetables in your oatmeal thing, I suggest that you start with cauliflower first. The steamed cauliflower blends easily in with the oatmeal, fluffing up the texture without adding any distinct cauliflower or vegetable taste. It seems to melt into the bowl, allowing you to enjoy a serving of veg before noon.
I loved adding fresh fruit and peanut butter to the oatmeal to complement the creamy texture of the cereal. If you wake up craving a hot meal, these oats can easily be popped in the microwave or heated over the stovetop until warmed throughout.
