"Cheesy" Bacon Cauliflower Muffins

Cauliflower is such a versatile little vegetable. This recipe uses nutritional yeast to give a cheesy flavor to the muffins, but if you don't have any you can omit it. Or you can use real cheese if you tolerate dairy! This makes a lot of muffins and lasted well in the fridge for 3-4 days after making it. Use it as a delicious, portable side dish.

Ingredients
1) 2 pounds of cauliflower florets ( I used the bag from Costco)
2) 4 eggs
3) 1/4 cup coconut flour
4) 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (optional, but gives the "cheesy" flavor)
5) 1/4 - 1/2 cup bacon bits (depends on how much you want in each muffin, start with 1/4 cup and add more if it looks like too little!)
Extra: 1 teaspoon salt

**Makes 18 muffins**

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1) Steam your cauliflower. You can do this on the stove, or the lazy way like I did: microwave. I placed the cauliflower in a very large bowl, added 1/4 cup water, and cooked for 8-10 minutes until fork tender.

2) Add half your steamed cauliflower and the 4 eggs to a food processor or blender.

3) Puree until smooth, and then add the remaining cauliflower. Puree until smooth.

4) Pour your cauliflower/egg mixture back into your bowl you used to microwave it. Add your 1/4 of coconut flour and stir to combine.

5) Next add your 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, bacon bits, and salt. Stir to combine.

6) Using a measuring cup or cookie scoop, divide your mixture into cupcake molds. I used silicone to ensure no sticking. It made 18, but yours could make a few more or less depending on ingredient size.

7) Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes, until firm when touched.
