Couscous might not be the first thing you would typically think of when it comes to breakfast, but this dish definitely changes that. This creamy porridge-like bowl of couscous is the perfect way to switch up your usual breakfast routine. It’s hearty like a bowl of oats, but is uniquely scented with warm spices and flavored with Peanut Butter & Co. Bee's Knees, coconut, and vanilla.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned light coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp. honey
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
  • 1/8 tsp. allspice
  • 1/8 tsp. ginger
  • 1 pinch cloves
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Butter The Bee's Knees
  • 4 tbsp. golden raisins, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp. unsweetened, shredded coconut (for garnish)

Directions

  1. Whisk together the coconut milk, honey, cinnamon, salt, allspice, ginger, cloves, and Peanut Butter & Co. The Bee's Knees in a medium bowl until smooth. Measure out 4 teaspoons of raisins and set aside for garnish.

  2. Add the coconut milk mixture in a medium saucepan along with the water, raisins (except the raisins reserved for garnish), and couscous. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.

  3. Once it reaches a simmer, the couscous should be porridge-like in consistency if not, simmer until it is (this should take less than 1 minute), stirring constantly. Once the couscous is porridge-like, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into 4 serving bowls and top each with 1 teaspoon raisins and 1 teaspoon coconut and serve hot.
