It is pretty good, but the recipe is lacking in instructions as to what to do with the vanilla, raisins, and maple syrup. I just added them during the process. -
A great, fast breakfast for kids and grown-ups! It was a tiny bit soupy, but I think I like it better that way than if it was too dry. It reminds me a bit of rice pudding-- but I like the couscous better! -
This was really good. I discovered that I didn't like couscous after buying a rather large bag and it had been torture using it up until I found this recipe. Thanks! -
It was delicious, but I had the same problem that Mandy from Oz did, although I didn't use a microwave....the couscous didn't absorb as well as I had expected. Otherwise it would have been a five star! Thanks very much. -
I really enjoyed this. My changes included no raisins (didn't have and don't like them anyway). Brought this to work and when I reheated it added a half of sliced banana and about a T. of chopped walnuts. Thank you for helping me find another use for the whole wheat couscous I bought!

This was very good and provides a nice alternative to oatmeal which I'm not a huge fan of. Like others who have posted comments I initially thought the serving size was a little small, but in reality I found that the serving size posted was just enough to satisfy. I didn't have any maple syrup so I used honey instead. Looking at the recipe it appears I also forgot to sprinkle with cinnamon but it still tasted great. -
I thought this was great. I substituted honey for syrup (although I think I will try that next time), and sliced canned peaches for the raisins (about 1/4 cup diced). It was delicious!
