Low Carb Gluten-Free Cauliflower Fritters

These cauliflower fritters are so delicious, as well as grain free for those of you who are gluten sensitive or are just staying away from grains. For people who don't particularly like vegetables or have trouble fitting them into their diet, or for people who are on low carb diets for some days of the week like myself, this is a great recipe! Simple, fast and easy.

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower

½ cup cheese of choice (cheddar works well)

½ cup almond flour

2 eggs

Salt to taste

Olive oil

Directions:

Steam the cauliflower until tender enough to mash up (it took me about 10 minutes). In a large mixing bowl mash up the steamed cauliflower and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs, cheese, almond flour and salt, mix until the ingredients are incorporated well (so you can’t see the separate ingredients anymore). Place about a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-low heat. Form the cauliflower mixture into “patties” and place them in the frying pan for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Eating vegetables does not have to be boring and monotonous! Help yourself stick to your diet by adding variety to it!   

Flourless Gluten-free Mushroom Pizza

* Just a note on this pizza - if you want it to be 100% gluten free, you have to use oat flour that's gluten-free. Because many factories process wheat and gluten products in the same place that oatmeal is processed, the oats could possibly be contaminated with gluten. *

I was looking through recipes on the internet today, and came across this one on www.food.com. It is so delicious and loaded with protein and fiber.

For my toppings I added some tomato sauce, 1/3 cup of part-skim mozzarella cheese and as many mushrooms as I wanted. It came out absolutely amazing - I don't feel like I'm missing out on your normal processed white flour pizza at all. In fact, I like this better! I would definitely recommend this pizza crust recipe over the previous cauliflower crust recipe that I posted. Definitely check it out!
