Creating cauliflower muffins is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for success:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: If using fresh cauliflower, chop it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese to the dry mixture until evenly distributed.
5. Incorporate Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower rice to the bowl and mix to combine.
6. Beat the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
7. Combine Mixtures: Pour the beaten eggs into the vegetable mixture and stir until just combined.
8. Add Herbs: If using, fold in fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
9. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into muffin cups, filling them about ¾ full.
10. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. They are ready when golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

These steps will ensure you achieve perfectly baked cauliflower muffins every time.
