The other week I found out that my iPhone storage was completely maxed out. Which in my opinion is pretty nuts since I have the biggest phone, but that just shows how many pictures and videos I save on there (oops!).

When I was scrolling through to delete old photos, I came across so many of my original recipe photos that tbh were just horrific. But the recipes themselves are classic and still ones I make all the time. Like these crispy baked Buffalo Cauliflower Wings! So I decided to reshoot them and give them another debut here on the blog.

These are still a fam favorite and they are to this date, one of the most popular recipes here on the blog.

And these are one of our favorites to make for Sunday football and all of the sport festivities. AKA the only thing I am actually excited about when there is a game on that Jordan wants to watch.

What ingredients you need to make these Whole30 Buffalo Cauliflower Wings:

  • Cauliflower – you either need 1 large head of cauliflower or 2 smaller ones. Or you can buy some already in floret form
  • Almond flour – I haven’t used another flour here but unlike baking recipes, this will be easier to sub. Try oat flour or cassava! Not coconut though
  • Tapioca flour or arrowroot flour
  • Non-dairy milk of choice (unsweetened!)
  • Mild or hot buffalo sauce
  • For serving: scallions or your favorite dressing (I used ranch!)

How to make oven-baked Buffalo Cauliflower Wings:

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Wash your cauliflower and break it into small florets.
  3. In a medium bowl mix together the flours, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt.
  4. Add the non-dairy milk and give it a good mix so there are no clumps remaining
  5. Next add all of the cauliflower to a very large bowl then pour the mixture eon top of it and mix so each piece is evenly coated (or you can individually dip each piece if you don’t have a large bowl
  6. Then add the cauliflower to baking sheet and spread them apart
  7. Bake for 20 minutes in oven then remove
  8. Pour your buffalo sauce into a bowl, then dip each cauliflower floret into the buffalo sauce, and space them out on the baking sheet
  9. Bake for another 20 minutes or so until golden!
