Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh fruit (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons nuts or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, water, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once the mixture starts to simmer, add the couscous and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the couscous cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it absorbs most of the liquid and becomes tender.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract for sweetness and flavor.
Divide the porridge into serving bowls. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds as desired for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious Couscous Flax Seed Porridge!
