Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice.

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower 'rice', eggs, nutritional yeast, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then brush the tops of each rice cake with the melted coconut oil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Remove from oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet to firm up further.
