Is it just me or does slathering buffalo wing sauce make everything taste A+mazing. Even though I ditched meat awhile back eating these Buffalo Cauliflower Bites is just like eating a spicy, greasy chicken wing; but so much healthier. Check out the recipe below as well as other buffalo wing sauce inspired recipes here and here.

5. Mix flour, milk, water, and spices into a small bowl.
6. Dip each cauliflower floret into this flour mixture (This is the step where you can either make the batter thick or thin by using less/more water respectively. I enjoy it on the thinner side so I choose to add more water).
7. Lay on baking sheet in an even layer to ensure baking all around.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
