If you're missing the texture and comfort of couscous on a keto diet, this Low-Carb Breakfast “Couscous” is the perfect fix. Made with cauliflower rice and infused with fragrant rose water, this 10-minute breakfast is sweet, satisfying, and completely keto-compliant.
Why This “Couscous” Works on Keto
Traditional couscous is made from semolina wheat, which is high in carbs and not keto-friendly. But when you swap it for finely riced cauliflower, you retain the texture while dramatically reducing the carbs. The addition of coconut milk, flax seeds, almonds, and erythritol keeps it creamy, filling, and naturally sweet without a sugar spike.
