1tablespoon + 1 teaspooncoconut flour
1 1/2cups2% milk(or almond milk)

1cuppacked cheddar cheesegrated and divided (4 ounces) (or dairy-free)
Instructions
Turn your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bring a large pot of salted water a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook until fork-tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well, and then spread out on a few layers of paper towel. Use another layer of paper towel to gently press as much moisture out of the cauliflower as possible.
While the cauliflower cools, melt the butter in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, add in the almond flour and coconut flour and whisk, stirring constantly, until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute.
Whisk in the milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until smooth, and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce the heat to medium, stirring occasionally, until VERY thick, about 7-8 minutes.
Remove the milk mixture from the heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of the cheese until smooth.
Spread 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan. Pack the cauliflower into the pan and spoon the rest of the sauce over top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 25-30 minutes. OPTIONAL: broil for 2-3 minutes until golden.
