These Low Carb Cauliflower Cheese Bites are the perfect grab and go snack when you need just a little bit more energy.
My daughter came home from school yesterday and was looking forward to having an after school snack. I gave her a plate of Cauliflower Cheese bites but didn't tell her what they were.
She popped one in her mouth and was very excited that I made macaroni and cheese bites for her! She was very surprised to find out that there wasn't any pasta in these Low Carb bites, but that they were filled with Cauliflower instead.
I love finding recipes with hidden ingredients that kids love! Can't beat replacing Cauliflower in many of our favorite recipes like Breakfast Quiche and Cauliflower Pizza Crust.
These cheesy cauliflower bites make a great low carb snack.
