INGREDIENTS
4 cups cauliflower florets (~240g)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (~56g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (~120g)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (~120g)
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 6-8 minutes, then set aside.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a smooth sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until partially melted in the warm mixture. Mix in the steamed cauliflower and cooked macaroni, ensuring everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, smoothing out the top.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the cheese has bubblyly melded with the sauce.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy your Creamy Baked Cauliflower Mac & Cheese.
