Pumpkin Cauli-Oats

Keeping the cauli-oat train moving with my pumpkin cauli-oat bake! 70% of you said you haven’t tried my cauli-oat bakes yet and I’m wondering if y’all are scared of a little cauliflower. Trust me, you can’t taste it at all. It’s masked behind the oats, Chino Valley Ranchers pasturer raised eggs, and in this bake, the pumpkin purée, spices, and maple syrup. These bakes are perfect for meal prep, serves 4, and the whole family loves it. I was weirded out by the thought of cauliflower in my oats for years and reframed from jumping on this trend until earlier this year. My life was forever changed since then and I gladly eat vegetables for breakfast.
