Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the cauliflower florets for 4-5 minutes until tender. Drain well and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until finely chopped and resembles rice. Transfer it to a large bowl.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined and a thick batter-like consistency forms.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the cauliflower mixture and place it in the skillet, flattening it gently to form a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture, cooking in batches as needed.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil if necessary between batches.
Remove from the skillet and place the pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
