Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup roughly chopped cauliflower or 3/4 cup cauliflower rice

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup (about 4 large) egg whites or fat-free liquid egg substitute

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. precooked real crumbled bacon

Optional topping: light sour cream

Directions:

If starting with roughly chopped cauliflower, pulse in a blender until reduced to rice-sized pieces. Transfer to a medium-large bowl.

Add all remaining ingredients except bacon, and mix until uniform. Fold in bacon.

Spray a standard round waffle maker with nonstick spray, and set heat to medium.

Once hot, pour 1/4th of the batter (about 1/2 cup) into the center of the waffle maker. Close and cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer waffle to a plate. Repeat to make 3 more waffles, re-spraying between waffles if needed.
