Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond almond milk here, but soy or oat almond milk works great too! Make sure your buffalo sauce is vegan; some brands sneak in nutritional yeast, so check the label. And if you’re not feeling the vegan butter, you can just use more sauce. The more flavor, the better!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my buffalo sauce on the side for dipping – it adds an extra kick!
- •If you want to kick the heat up a notch, add some cayenne pepper to the batter.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add nutritional yeast to the batter for a cheesy flavor boost.
- •You could even try a different sauce, like BBQ or teriyaki, for a fun twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just know that they might lose some crispiness, but a quick reheat in the oven can bring them back to life!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prep the cauliflower and batter ahead. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve. They’re best fresh out of the oven, but a quick reheat will do!

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden and crispy.

While the cauliflower is baking, mix the buffalo sauce and melted vegan vegan butter in a large bowl.
- 7
Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and toss it in the buffalo sauce mixture until fully coated.

Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the sauce is slightly caramelized.
