15 minOatmeal has had its moment. Time to give couscous a shot at the breakfast table.
This warm cereal cooks in the microwave in about 5 minutes using a mix of water and fresh orange juice. Honey, chopped almonds, orange zest, apple juice concentrate, and a dash of cinnamon turn it into something that tastes like a warm citrus morning in a bowl.
It’s low-fat, naturally sweetened, and faster than standing in line at a coffee shop. Four servings from one dish, no stovetop required.
Variations
- Stir in dried cranberries or golden raisins after cooking for chewy fruit bursts.
- Swap almonds for toasted pistachios or walnuts for a different nutty crunch.
- Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of extra honey for a more substantial bowl.
Ingredients
Directions
Combine all of the ingredients in a 1-quart microwaveable casserole dish.
Cover. Microwave on high until the liquid is absorbed and the couscous is tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
Let stand, covered, for 1 minute more.
