I've never tried a sweet couscous preparation, not sure why. I'm a big fan of steel cut oatmeal for breakfast, but this sounds so good that I'll have to sub it into the rotation sometime soon. Love your photo too.
It's cold or cool in the morning where I live, most of the year, so I eat a lot of hot cereal (usually oatmeal). I love this recipe, especially the inclusion of the pepitas. I added a few raisins, just for fun and a pinch of allspice and it was so good. This one is definitely a keeper!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I love oatmeal too, but this couscous is a nice change. Plus it's versatile, as you discovered. I'll have to try allspice now too.
Oui, Chef-Thank you! It's versatile as a breakfast cereal -- try any combo of dried fruits and nuts you like.
So excited to try this recipe -- we always have an unusually large stockpile of couscous and pepitas in the pantry so this will be a good thing to add to the rotation!
