How to Prepare Chipotle Cauliflower Jalapeño Fritters [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Steam the cauliflower for about 10 minutes, or until very fork tender. Meanwhile, mix together all remaining ingredients save for avocado oil.
Let the cauliflower cool slightly (so you don't end up with scrambled eggs) before using a wooden spoon to mix it into the chia/flax egg mixture, mashing it as you go.
You should end up with a lumpy looking batter - bits of cauliflower are great, but you want the chia/flax egg and flour to be evenly distributed.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, then coat the bottom lightly with avocado oil (or other high heat oil of choice).
Using two teaspoons, spoon batter into pan, pressing each fritter flat with the back of your spoon.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until you see the edges begin to turn golden. Transfer to paper towel.
To keep warm, store in oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
