Replacing Highly Refined Processed Foods
So you’re probably following a low carb or gluten-free diet or, like me, trying to get rid of the most highly refined processed foods. Most bread fall into the processed-foods department, showing very little nutritional value and loaded with sugar (1). If we ditch the bread, what are we going to pair with our avo? Or dip into our hummus?

With these cauliflower breadsticks, you’ll be able to smother them into any sauce guilt-free (provided it’s a healthy dip!) or load them up with a topping of your choice. The part you’ll love the most is how the crunch in your mouth and makes you feel like you’re indulging.
Why Are Cauliflower Breadsticks A Better Option?
I compared the nutritional breakdown of these cauliflower breadsticks to normal commercial breadsticks. This recipe has half the calories, half the sugar, and double the fiber. It still has the same fat content because of the coconut oil used.
Good Carbs
The carbs in this recipe come from the whole grains in the oats. These carbs are very beneficial as they’re high in fiber which is essential for your gut flora to stay healthy and nourished.
It’s Not Just About The Calories
Keep in mind not everything is about calories and carb counting. This recipe is loaded with vitamins and minerals you ordinarily wouldn’t get from eating a stick of bread. It’s low GI and will leave you feeling fuller for longer. Not only that but they taste absolutely delishes and are overall very good for you!

Notes
Make More Than Just Breadsticks
This recipe is just the start of great things. When the flatbread comes out of the oven, Instead of cutting it up, use it as a pizza base. Another great option is using it as a wrap or burrito (because it has such high flex). Just put your ingredients in the middle and roll it up.
Notes
You should make double or triple the amount and store some of it in the fridge or freezer after cooking and reheat it on a pan for a quick healthy snack!
